Downtime
  • Threadmarks
    • After each mission, each player now has 4 in-game weeks of downtime where they can engage in the following actions:

    -Spend EXP: This will be explained in a future update titled 'Character Advancement'. EXP is spent on both your stats, skills, and trainings.

    -Regain Conviction: If you've spent Conviction, you can spend a week relaxing to regain 5 conviction a week.

    -Build Contacts: By spending a week, you gain 4 Contact Points used to create new Contacts or improve existing ones. Contacts can only go as high as 10, but are a valuable resource if there is nothing else you can use to go on.

    -Earn Petty Cash: The Agent goes to do their day job or freelances, earning 500Cr per week spent.

    Have fun.

    • I know my priority would be to acquire a Tactical Firearms license... as that means I can start to acquire guns I can actually shoot stuff with...

    Gideon, will you be posting the list of stuff in the corporate store we can borrow at the start of each mission?
     
    Yay, we survived!

    What does the bounty hunter license do for me? Would it be able to earn me some kind of bonus to the "Earn Petty Cash" option?

    Well one skill increase will take up one week, contact improvements will take the remaining three weeks.

    Quick question for clarity @Gideon020 . For licenses, does the number in parenthesis effect both amount of Cr and # of weeks required, or just Cr?

    Waiting for Gideon to be able to post the 'Character Advancement' post, so I can figure out exactly what I want to do.
     
    Let him finish writing up this turn for the SV ShadowRun Cabal, and then he should do it. So most likely later tonight, or tomorrow.
     
    Character Advancement Rules

    • Sorry for the lateness, but things have been busy.

    Advancing your character through the expenditure of Experience Points is a relatively painless process, but this process can only be done during post-mission Downtime. Some items such as getting new Licenses are different since they have differing requirements.

    EXP Price List:

    New Skill: 2 EXP
    Improve a skill: Current Rating x 1
    Improve a Telepathic Skill: Current Rating x 2
    Improve your Stats: Current Rating x 2
    Learn a Language: 5 EXP
    Buy a new Training: 10 EXP
    Buy/Improve a License: 1 Week Of Downtime and 500Cr per level of the License.
    Permanent TE Point: 10. Only can be increased by 1 per Downtime period.

    After this next mission, Corporation-Specific and New Training Programs will be listed, but for now use the lists in previous threadmarks.

    • Alrighty, so here is the list of my planned moves during downtime. If anything needs to be fixed, let me know. Barring that, I should be able to write up an IC post for this real soon.

      7 EXP -> 6 EXP
    • Robotics License (1)//Public Appropriations License (2)//Military Vehicle License (3)
      -3 Weeks//4000 Cr -> 2700 Cr (4000 + 1700 - 3000)
    • Build Contacts
      -1 Week//+4 Contact Points

    Would it be possible to get a contact in one of the cybernetic companies to get a discount on the cybernetics they sell? Or maybe free installations? If so, how many points would the contact cost?

    Contacts are primarily roleplaying hooks/resources, but you could use them to get a discount if you don't mind having an additional...complication during a mission because of it.
