taking actions in town

For full rules on In Town actions, please see the Town & Roleplay Guide.

Players start with a total of FIVE “In Town” actions / week as well as THREE "In Town" Reactions / week. Players do NOT start with Hero Points for “In Town” actions, though they can unlock them via Perks or gained through Town Blessings. These actions and Hero Points are shared between all character slots a player possesses. Players cannot use Fortune effects other than these Hero points to alter their rolls for In Town actions, though any skill bonuses that are applicable can be used. Any “In Town” action that would be an interaction between players requires only one player to spend the action unless otherwise stated. Any rolls for “In Town” actions should be made in Discord in the #rolls channel or directly in the associated scene or venue channel.

There are also unique actions available for each venue depending on what venues players create, so be sure to check those as well at Venues!

Form a Contest of up to X+1 PCs, where X is the amount of Challenge to Contest actions used for this Contest. A challenge can be anything the involved players agree upon it being (e.g. a check of some sort or a pvp fight)

The involved players can wager up to 120 RP XP per player as well as any amount of Gold / Resources / Items.  All players involved must agree on the amounts collected, how the pot of rewards will be distributed and what constitutes winning.

Special: Any player with an involved character may use a Challenge to Contest action to pay for the action cost. 

Roll any skill of choice to help out around town against a level-based DC+5 check with the following results:

Critical Success: Earn 75% of a TP worth of gold

Success: Earn 50% of a TP worth of gold

Failure: Earn 25% of a TP worth of gold

Critical Failure: You botch the job. Earn nothing.

Spend up to 10 hours to Learn A Spell. You must meet the requirements, perform the checks, and pay the costs as outlined in that activity.

Retrain one major class feature.

Open your venue for business for the week.

Then choose one:

- Take an action available at your venue

- Take the Withdraw RP XP action

- Take the Earn Income action

You may post up to THREE jobs to be completed in the #jobs-board-rp channel. You decide on the tasks, eligible skills, and minimum participants for each job. (Please see the "Complete a Job" venue action for more details.)

Retrain one feat, repertoire spell, skill upgrade, or minor class feature.

Choose one:
- You and one other player may trade any amount of items, resources, or gold in a singular transaction. 

- Two of your characters may trade any amount of items in a single transaction. (Your characters automatically share gold and resources.)

Choose one:

- Perform an action available at the target venue.

- Perform a social action that involves the owner of target venue.

There are other unique passives, actions, or activities that may be available via class or skill feats. If any of these feats reference the Craft action, they will use the rules listed for the Craft action here instead for determining costs and limitations. 

You must check for or request rulings from #council-hall on how these feats interact with downtime in Northern Reaches before using them. An example of this is the Inventor skill feat which would allow a player to spend an "In Town" action to try to invent a new formula.

Trigger: Another player is taking a Magical Services action to cast a Ritual that requires secondary casters.

You act as a Secondary caster for another player's Ritual and must make any checks as needed as part of its casting.

Trigger: Another player that you have not yet taken the Magic Mentoring reaction with this week takes the Learn a Spell action for a spell that you know or otherwise have access to.

You provide insightful guidance to the player attempting to Learn a Spell and take a special Aid reaction with the same DC as the triggering check with the following potential outcomes instead.

Critical Success: Increase the degree of success for the triggering check. No matter the outcome of the triggering check, the player can attempt to Learn the Spell again immediately.
Success: Provide a circumstance bonus of +2 to the triggering check. No matter the outcome of the triggering check, the player can attempt to Learn the Spell again immediately.
Failure: Unless the triggering check was a critical failure, the player can attempt to Learn the Spell again immediately.
Critical Failure: The triggering check suffers a -1 circumstance penalty.

Trigger: Another player is taking a Craft action to create an item that requires the casting  of a spell or another non-material component that you are capable of providing.

You provide the casting of any necessary spells or provide any other non-material component for a Craft action of another player.
