Seven Dooms Overview:
Seven Dooms is primarily an "Event Based" adventure, with downtime in between each event. This offers a time for you each to Earn Income, Retrain, or pursue your personal goals. Depending on what you want to do with your downtime, we may jump into individual scenes, or stick to more "general" descriptions. Regardless of the approach, whenever we do downtime, please do work out how your downtime intersects with both the people of Sandpoint and with each other.
In Sandpoint, you can assume common-rarity items of level 4 or lower are generally available. Services to move runes or cast spells are also available if you can identify the particular person who can help you with it and you're on good terms with them. Certain additional items and services, as well as discounts on things you might want, can be gained if you have good Reputation with the important factions around town.
Reputation: During Seven Dooms, your party as a whole has a fluctuating standing with the various major factions within the town. You can find your current standing in the new SRD Reputations link in my header line. This doc will also grow as you learn more about the various factions. The seven factions are: The Bunyip Club, the Runewatchers, Sandpoint Cathedral, the Sandpoint Mercantile League, the Scarnetti Consortium, and the Town Watch, and the Citizenry. Your initial standing with these factions has been influenced by your backgrounds, leading to you being initially Liked by Sandpoint Cathedral and the Runewatchers. The individual pages for the factions will list the effects of your standing.
You can improve or worsen your standing with the factions based on your actions. Many of these actions will naturally happen in non-downtime settings. One surefire way of improving your standing though is befriending individual members of the factions. This can be via Making an Impression, or helping an individual with some task. Most of the 50 locations on the Sandpoint map is associated with one main person that, in turn, is also associated with a faction. Basically... make friends (or enemies) with people and your standing with the factions will naturally change. Many of the various locations around Sandpoint also offers their own individual minor boon if you maintain a good relationship with their representative.
House Rules:
Simple Lockpicking in Exploration Mode: By taking a full hour to make a Pick a Lock attempt, you may take a natural 20 as the result of your die. This represents making many attempts, including breaking your picks and repairing them several times.
