[QUOTE="Blue, post: 7789710, member: 20564"] Thanks all. From the feedback, it looks like I will need to formalize it more to make it balanced. Spitballing off the top of my head: Each week of downtime will provide two "slots" of activities. You can not pick the same activity twice, though there are some 2 slot versions. Temporary changes to an ability score happen at the rate of +/-1 per week - so if you skip a week it will drop down. Fit these as best as possible to your narrative. For example, two weeks gambling in the local watering hole might be De-Stress & Risky Make Money the first week, and Make Local Contacts & Risky Make Money the second week. [U]1 Slot activities[/U] Make local contacts / improve local reputation. (Help out, schmooze, etc.) Stable Make money: Temporary +1 to an appropriate ability score, +XX coin based on skill level.
