## Player Activities
These are a list of additional actions that can be taken. Often times they are more complex or take more time then other actions. Activities help give you a guideline of what you can do while traveling, resting, or when you have nothing else to do. Activities can be pursued to improve your character, make new gear, and earn money. Activities can be a character's hobby, or their career path. When thinking about doing an Activity you have main four aspect to consider: Time, Location, Properties, and Skills & Gear needed.

Most activities have a specific amount of time they will take while others really depend on what you are doing with the activity. In any case you need to make sure you have enough time planned out for the activity.

Some activities can be performed any where as long as you have the time available to focus on them. Other activities require you to be traveling while in some cases the activity preferred or require time is during a short or long rest. Typically if the activity is under 2 hours it can the majority of the time be performed during a long rest. Under 1 hour and you can perform it during a short rest. This is sometimes not the case.

Activities have properties that tell you what to expect when doing an activity. This may be a warning that the activity is dangerous or could risk exhaustion. This can also tell you if the activity is something that could be done while traveling or have advantages if done during a rest.

You will need to know what you will need to undergo the activity. Some activities are simple and just require pure effort and/or skill. All you have to do is roll and beat a require DC to have an success. Other activities can be more complex gear such as bundles, kits, and misc. supplies are required or make the activity easier. Most of the time it is NOT a requirement to have the gear to attempt the activity but having the right gear would in most cases significantly improve chance of success.

Consult further down into the book for details given about the times, locations, properties, skills, and gear associated  with activities.

Each time you perform an activity you gain practice with that activity. Once you have reached 1000 hours of practice on an activity you can add Half your Proficiency Bonus on top of any existing proficiency bonuses you add from skills and bundles to the activity related rolls. Once you have reached 3000 hours you can add your full Proficiency Bonus. With the activities Training and Learning this is not the case.

## Activity Time
Activities take time to complete. The time could be any where from 10 minutes to 8 hours. In order to receive credit for the activity you need to usually have access to that full time with out interruption. An activity with the Distraction property are super sensitive to this and will end and fail if concentration is lost in anyway. Activities mentioned that have a ~ symbol next to their time or instead of the their time are looser do not have a specific time or do not require the full time to be used.

##### Time Table
Below is a table of times and the activities that commonly take that amount of time.

| Time | Activity |
|:---:|:-----------:|
|  ~  | Keeping Watch, Map Making, Navigating, Scouting, Tracking, Trailblazing |
|  10min  | Appraisal, Bonding, Healing, Identifying |
|  1hr  | Attuning, Boosting Camp, Cooking, Disguising, Finding Camp, Identifying, Keeping Watch, Recuperate, Setting Up Traps, Tend to Companions, Tend to Wounds	 |
|  2hr  | Disguising, Foraging, Hunting, Keeping Watch, Learning, Mining, Reading |
|  4hr  | Learning, Reading, Training |
|  8hr  | Brewing, Crafting, Designing Blueprint, Extracting, Imbuing, Planning Ritual, Performing Ritual, Repair, Researching Formula, Scribing, Training |
|  9hr+  | Building, Extracting, Performing Ritual |

#### No Specific Time (~ or +-)
Like stated in the intro of this section activities that fit this category either the time changes depending on what you doing with the activity, they do not require a standard time frame, and/or do not require the use of the full time in order to receive credit and success for the activity.

The activities that have a ~ that fit in this category can be interrupted or have the times changed and adjusted depending on what you doing with the activity. These are activities like Keep Watch which can be split into 1 or 2 hour chucks but do not have to use that full time to receive credit and success for the time used. Similarly activities like Map Making, Navigation, or Scouting are based on the Travel Legs of where you are going therefore based on the total time traveling.

If an activity has a + and/or a - next to their time then they could take any longer and/or shorter then that amount of time. The amount of time determined will be decided before the activity They still need the full time to be completed in order for the activity to be successful. Example of this is performing a ritual. The amount of time a ritual takes is solely dependent on the ritual's plan.

#### 10+ Minutes 
The occasional activity takes less then an hour to complete. This does not mean these activities can be repeated countless times in a day. Typically these activities are limited to an X amount that can be done with in a time from or without taking a short or long rest.

#### 1 Hour
Hour long activities can be done during a short rest in most cases and as long as they do not have the Strenuous property. Two of these activities can be done during a long rest and in some cases they will even have advantage if done during a long rest when they have the Rest property.

#### 2 Hours
2 Hour long activities can be done during a long rest in most cases and as long as they do not have the Strenuous property. In some cases they will even have advantage if done during a long rest when they have the Rest property.

#### 3+ Hours
These are activities that take a long time usually 4 to 8 hours. They can not be fit into a rest and most be done on their own dedicated time.

## Activity Locations
Activities can be broken down into there the best place to do them is. You have activities that could be done any time, activities that gain advantages if done during a short and/or long rest, activities because of the time they take can not be done during a rest, and activities that are only for traveling.

##### Location Table
| Location | Activity |
|:---:|:-----------:|

#### Free Time
These are activities that do need to be done during a rest or travel or that can NOT be done during a rest or travel. Your characters might take several days off from adventuring to pursue these activities.

#### Rest, Short & Rest, Long
Activities that take 1 and/or 2 hours and are not strenuous. These activities can fit perfectly in a rest sometimes gain advantage for doing so.

#### Travel
These are activities that can be done while travel some of which can only be done while traveling.

#### Dangerous Activities
Activities that require you go off alone and separate from the group. Thus risking being attack or trapped without help. Chance of encounter occurs.

#### Distracting Activities
These activities require your full attention. Passive perception suffers a -5.

#### Exhausting Activities
Activities that if you do more then twice with out taking a long rest then you will suffer one level of exhaustion after finishing the second.

#### Focused Activities
Activities that can only be performed max of twice during travel or rest (twice by the same PC or twice by 2 different PCs). Only the highest of the two check results will determine the effect. If a character fails their check, they still suffer the consequences.

#### Relaxing Activities
Activities that if done during a Long Rest will increase your quality of rest (sleep). With an activity you can only increase the quality of rest once per a long rest.  Meaning doing two Relaxing activities will NOT increase your rest quality beyond the first time. If you are camping and do NOT have the proper camping equipment then you can NOT benefit from a Relaxing activity's rest quality increase.

#### Rest Activities
Are activities that if performed during a Short or Long Rest will have an Advantage.

#### Restrictive Activities
These are activities that have some restriction to how many times you can do them typically on the same creature or object within certain time frame. This is like healing, appraisal, or identifying. Once you have used those activities on an object or creature you can not go back to do them again unless significant time goes by or new information is revealed are examples. The restriction for each the activity are detailed further down.

#### Strenuous Activities
These are activities that can occur a chance of giving exhaustion during the activity even the first time doing the activity. A CON Saving Throw will sometimes be required and fail save will mean a level or more of exhaustion.

#### Travel Activities
Activities that can be performed during a travel leg. Some can only be performed during travel. Only one activity can be performed per a character during each travel leg. Going at medium or face pace might prevent the activity or cause a Disadvantage on the roll.

## Running Activities
When running an activity you want to first declare the activity you want to run and then make sure you have what you need. The right amount of time to complete it, the the right location to do it, and the correct skill, bundles, and supplies needed if any are needed at all.

#### Ability Stats
All Activities are based on an Ability Stat. Sometime mulitple different Ability Stats could be used. Depending on what you are doing with the activity changes the Ability Stat that is rolled (this is determined by the GM). Sometimes you can choose the Ability Stat you want to use though the optimal Ability Stat may make the roll easier then using non-optimal Ability Stat. You may have disadvantage or some kind of negative bonus if you use the non-ptimal Ability Stat. For example if you use WIS (perception) instead of INT (Investigation) on the Finding Camp activity then you will have DIS on the roll.

\columnbreak

##### Ability Stat Table
| Ability Stat | Activity |
|:---:|:-----------:|
| **Physical Stats**
|  Strength (STR)  | Boosting Camp, Building, Mining, Trailblazing, Training    |
|  Dexterity (DEX) | Boosting Camp, Brewing, Building, Cooking, Crafting, Repair, Training  |
| Constitution (CON)  | Training |
| **Mental Stats**
|  Intelligence (INT)  | Appraisal, Attuning, Building, Crafting, Designing Blueprint, Extracting, Finding Camp, Identifying, Imbuing, Learning, Map Making, Planning Ritual, Performing Ritual, Reading, Repair, Researching Formula, Scouting, Tracking, Training|
|  Wisdom (WIS)  | Bonding, Brewing, Cooking, Extracting, Finding Camp, Forging, Healing, Hunting, Identifying, Imbuing, Keeping Watch, Navigating, Planning Ritual, Performing Ritual, Reading, Recuperate, Scribing, Setting Up Traps, Tend to Companions, Tend to Wounds, Tracking, Training |
| **Social Stat**
|  Charisma (CHR)  | Disguising, Training |

#### Skills
Most Activities are able to use a Skill on the roll though some you can NOT. When you use a Skill you can add your proficiency bonus to the roll if you are proficient in that Skill. Sometime mulitple different Skill could be used. Depending on what you are doing with the activity changes the skill that is added to the roll (this is determined by the GM). Sometimes you can choose the Skill you want to use though the optimal Skill may make the roll easier then using non-optimal Skill. You may have disadvantage or some kind of negative bonus if you use the non-optimal Skill. For example if you use WIS (perception) instead of INT (Investigation) on the Finding Camp activity then you will have DIS on the roll.

#### Bundles
Bundles include Supply Bundles, Tools, and Kits. Most Activities are able to use a Bundle on the roll though some you can NOT. When you use a Bundle you can add your proficiency bonus to the roll if you are proficient in that Bundle.

Even if you not proficient in the Bundle using one could give you a bonus such as advantage on the roll. Sometime multiple different Bundles could be used. Depending on what you are doing with the activity changes the Bundle that is added to the roll (this is determined by the GM).

Sometimes you can choose the Bundle you want to use though the optimal Bundle may make the roll easier then using non-optimal Bundle. You may have disadvantage or some kind of negative bonus if you use the non-optimal Bundle.

#### Supplies
This is miscellaneous gear or ingredients that is needed or would help. This could come in the form pretty much anything. Very few activities absolutely need supplies. For most activities it more depends on what you are doing with activity that determines if supplies will be needed or not. Creative use of supplies in the activity will potentially give bonuses.

#### Helping
A player can use the Help Action on pretty much any activity except for training (where helping works differently). The Help Action gives the primary roller Advantage on the roll. Typically only ONE helper can assist on any single roll but may be special circumstance where you can have more then one helper in which case Advantage may stack or a + bonus may be given for the extra help in these rare situations. The Helper mechanically does not need to doing anything besides state they are helping before the roll occurs but solid roleplay explanation may give additional bonus.

Below the Stage description are listed as well as a table that gives an overview of all the stages.

<br>

You won't be able to give them any commands or may have to roll Animal Handling with a disadvantage and at a DC 20+. You will have disadvantages on any non-bonding checks dealing with them including Animal Handling and the DCs will be 20+.
