Inventions
You can maintain a number of Inventions equal to your Tier level. You start with an Invention of your choice, and can spend a Downtime activity to swap what inventions you are maintaining. On a Short Rest, you may swap out half your Tier’s Inventions. On a Long Rest, you may swap out all your Inventions. During either a Short, or Long, rest, you may also spend a Downtime activity to Amplify your Inventions, which last until your next rest. Anyone can use your Inventions. You may find a list of Inventions below, or you can work with your GM to make one.
