Tiers of play:

• Levels are broken up into separate tiers of play shown in the table below. You may only play adventures inside your tier of play.
1st -> 4th Level 5th to 10th Level 11th to 15th Level Level 16th to 20th Level
Tier 1 Tier 2 Tier 3 Tier 4

Advancement Checkpoints (ACP):

• Your DM will tell you how many ACP you have earned during the module or hardcover at the end of the session.
• 4 ACP are required to level 1->5. After which 8 ACP are required though and up to level 20.
• Slowed Progression: You may slow your character’s advancement. If you do so, your character earns any checkpoints, downtime and renown at half
the normal rate. You may opt in or out of this between sessions.

Down time Days (DTD):

• Characters earn five DTD for every two ACP they earn.
• When spending DTD you must also pay the associated lifestyle cost per day used for your chosen activity:

• Downtime activities are listed in page 187 of the players handbook, in addition the following downtime activities are available:
1. “Catching up”: You may spend downtime at levels 4, 10 and 16 to automatically advance 1 level move into the next tier of play. At 4th level
spend 25 DTD, at 10th level spend 75 DTD and at 16th level spend 140 DTD. Don’t forget the gold expense.
2. “Spellcasting services“: You can spend 1 DTD to cast a spell, or to have a spell cast by either another character or NPC. If receiving spellcasting
services from another character you can only receive services from characters at the same table as you. Spells cast in the session use the
normal rules for spellcasting (spell slots, materials, components ect.) instead of downtime.
3. “Copying spells“: For each DTD spent you can spend 8 hours copying spells or making your spellbook available for other players to copy from.
Characters playing the same adventure together can “trade“ spells with each other using this activity. This activity must be in the presence of
your tables DM.
4. “Trading Magic Items“: Each trading party must spend 15 DTD to trade permanent magic items. These items can be traded on a one-for-one
basis for items of the same rarity on the same magic item table. If the other party is playing the same adventure as you the downtime cost is
waived.
5. “Brewing potions of healing“ See Xanathars Guide to Everything. Brewing potions requires the use of an herbalism kit.
6. “Scribing scrolls“ See Xanathars Guide to Everything. You must know or be able to prepare a spell to be able to scribe it to a spell scroll. Its cost
is in addition to any component cost regardless to weather it is consumed or not.
