Additionally, gain a +2 to +5 bonus to the Resolution Check based on the size and magic of the area (Waterdeep and Silverymoon are +5, Baldur's Gate is +4, etc). The maximum bonus to the Resolution Check is still a +10.

Carousing

  • Resolution Check: Charisma (Persuasion) or Charisma (Deception) check. May be used to generate Contacts or Rumors.
  • Contacts: If generating Contacts, these are individuals of some impact in that part of town. Contacts can be named and listed by their type, or left undetailed to be added as useful and needed. A Contact can be used as an ongoing source of Rumors. They can also be used to get a favor, but doing so "expends" the Contact (though they can be re-acquired through Carousing later). (May have a maximum number of unnamed Contacts equal to 1 + Charisma modifier.)
    • Lower Class: Criminals, laborers, mercenaries, town guard, and other folk who frequent the cheapest taverns in town.
    • Middle Class: Guild members, spellcasters, town officials, and other folk who frequent well-kept establishments.
    • Upper Class: Nobles and their retainers, guildmasters, merchant princes, and other community leaders who can be found at formal banquets, noble parties, state dinners, and the like.
  • Rumors: When Carousing to generate Rumors, success generates a number of Rumors equal 1 + the character's Contacts.

    • All Three Fail: Character is caught and jailed. Must pay a fine equal to profit the crime would have earned, and spend one tenday in gaol or hard labor for each 25gp of the fine.
    • One Success: Crime fails. Complication results.

Xanathar's Guide to Everything

  • Crime: as normal.
  • Gambling: as normal, except that a character may choose to cheat at some point, replacing one of the checks with a Dexterity (Sleight of Hand) check.
    • Cheating increases the potential for complications to 20% however.
  • Relaxation: Characters recover one Hero Point for each workweek of this activity.
  • Religious Service: Characters recover one Hero Point for each favor they generate from this activity.
  • Research: Research can be used to research new spells and magical item schema alike.
    • Spells: This check is performed at a penalty equal to the level of the spell in question, and requires the accumulation of a number of pieces of lore equal to the (level x2), or just one for cantrips. Once researched, the cost for scribing the spell into a spellbook must still be paid.
    • Schema: This check is performed at a penalty based on the rarity of the item, and requires the accumulation of a number of pieces of lore based on the rarity, as follows: Common (-0, 1 piece of lore), Uncommon (-2, 3 pieces of lore), Rare (-4, 6 pieces of lore), Very Rare (-6, 12 pieces of lore). Researching Legendary schema is not possible, although completing a Research for a Very Rare one will give a researcher the knowledge of where to do (and thus, what quest to undertake) to find that schema.
  • Scribing a Spell Scroll: as normal
  • Selling a Magic Item: as normal
  • Training: as normal
  • Work: as normal
