Earn Income (House Rule)
DOWNTIME
You use a skill to make money during downtime. The Task Difficulty is a Simple DC check based on your proficiency level. If successful, you earn the listed amount of coin for that day. You can choose to take a lower-level task (a Master cartographer who chooses to take an Expert-level task), virtually guaranteeing that you will earn income, just not as much as if you had extended yourself.
After your first day of work, you roll to determine your earnings. You gain an amount of income based on your result, and the task’s difficulty level. You can continue working at the task on subsequent days without needing to roll again.
- Critical Success You do outstanding work. Gain double the amount of currency listed for the task level.
- Success You do competent work. Gain the amount of currency listed for the task level.
- Failure You do shoddy work and get paid the bare minimum for your time. You earn enough to pay your expenses for the duration, but do not earn any discretionary income.
- Critical Failure You earn nothing for your work and are fired immediately. You can’t continue at the task. Your reputation suffers, potentially making it difficult for you to find rewarding jobs in that community in the future.
