"The downtime system presented here is built on two basic elements.",
"First, it offers short-term activities, ones that can usually be completed in a workweek (5 days) or longer. These activities cover what characters at levels 1\u201310 might do between adventures. It includes buying or creating magic items, pulling off heists, and working a job. Higher level characters can also use these activities, but they have the resources and power to take on greater ambitions beyond the scope of these rules.",
"Second, this downtime system introduces the concept of foils. Foils are NPCs who oppose the characters or whose goals put them against the party. A foil might be a villain who wishes to destroy the characters, or a good-aligned cleric who sees the characters as meddlers and troublemakers. Foils work their plots while the characters engage in downtime activities, introducing interesting complications to the campaign."

A {@background guild artisan} or {@background entertainer} can work in one of the house guilds.
