Adventurers can end up owning businesses that have nothing to do with delving into dungeons or saving the world. A character might inherit a smithy, or the party might be given a parcel of farmland or a tavern as a reward. If they hold on to the business, they might feel obliged to spend time between adventures maintaining the venture and making sure it runs smoothly. A character rolls percentile dice and adds the number of days spent on this downtime activity (maximum 30), then compares the total to the Running a Business table to determine what happens. If the character is required to pay a cost as a result of rolling on this table but fails to do so, the business begins to fail. For each unpaid debt incurred in this manner, the character takes a -10 penalty to subsequent rolls made on this table. ##### Running a Business | d100 + Days | Result | |:-----------:|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | 01-20 | You must pay one and a half times the business's maintenance cost for each of the days. | | 21-30 | You must pay the business's full maintenance cost for each of the days. | | 31-40 | You must pay half the business's maintenance cost for each of the days.
