Buildings

Buildings and other structures can be built by player characters and NPCs to expand Queston, and offer new options to the adventurers. This page details the possible buildings that can be built within the town. If you are interested in creating a building not listed here, consult a Game Master. Paying for a building does not entitle you to profits or supplies from it.

Each building has an effect (listed under the title), a cost in gold pieces, a construction time listed in weeks, and a size and capicity. Size and capacity determines the physical size of the building, and whether the building can be constructed as a stand alone or expansion. Stand alone buildings can fit a number of expansions in them, equal to their capacity. Expansion takes capacity slots equal to its size. Expansions can be built on their own without a stand alone building, in which case they become a stand alone building with zero capacity.

Animal Pen
This building allows creatures to be held securely and safely, whether or not they desire to be, until you choose to release them. The creatures must not be humanoid, and this expansion may hold five small, three medium or one large creature.This building may be built multiple times. For each additional time this building is built in the same stand alone structure, the number of animals that can be held doubles.

Armory
This structure allows for safe and organized storage of weaponry or armor. Does not come with any equipment. Comes with a DC 25 lock.

Garden
Contains an assortment of herbs and grown vegetables. Every seven days, the garden provides enough ingredients to make two potions off the following list: alchemist's fire, elixir of health, oil of slipperiness, philter of love, potion of animal friendship, potion of climbing, potion of diminution, potion of fire breath, potion of healing, potion of growth, potion of resistance (random), or potion of water breathing. After the herbs have been picked, each potion must be successfully brewed with an alchemist supplies check. A failure destroys the gathered herbs used to brew that particular potion until they regrow.

An adventurer with proficiency in nature can spend their downtime working here. At the end of each day, they gain 2d8 SP + WIS GP.

While present within this building you cast all spells of the chosen school as if the spell slot expended was two levels higher, to a maximum of 9th level. Intelligence (Arcana) checks made here that deal with this chosen school of magic have advantage. Having this structure build reduces the cost of copying down spells of the given school by a quarter (This stacks with the Wizard Savant feature additively offering a 3/4 discount). This building may be built multiple times, and a different school must be chosen each time.

Chapel
While present within this building itself, any divination spells you cast are two levels higher, to a maximum of 9th level. Wisdom (Religion) checks made here that deal with the deity, philosophy or religion the chapel is associated with have advantage. A adventurer can spend his downtime performing sacred rites.

If the adventurer spends seven days doing this they gain one use of inspiration. To do this the adventurer must be proficient in Intelligence (Religion) and be affiliated with the deity the temple is devoted to.

College
This building allows for one to train their abilities with tools and languages more aptly. If an adventurer spends a day of their downtime training with a tool or language here the day counts as twice towards gaining proficiency with that tools. When constructed choose 3 tools and/or languages. Those are the tools/languages that benefit from this buildings effects. Additional tools/languages may be added by finding masters of said abilities and bringing to the College to teach.

Fighting Ring
This building allows for one to train their abilities with martial weapons more aptly. If an adventurer spends a day of their downtime training with a weapon here the day counts twice towards gain proficiency with that weapon.

Graveyard
While present in this area any necromancy spells you cast are treated as being cast as two levels higher, to a maximum of 9th level. If a necromancy spell requires a corpse to function that requirement is automatically filled while within this area. Intelligence (Arcana) checks made here that deal with necromancy or the dead have advantage here.

Library
When using Downtime to perform an Intelligence (Arcana), Intelligence (Nature), Intelligence (History), or Intelligence (Religion) check to find specific knowledge within this expansion, you can gain Advantage on the roll if a book inside the library broaches the topic. Even if you do not (or cannot) succeed, you can typically uncover a hint as to where this information may be found.

Defensive Walls
Provides a 5-foot thick, 20-foot high wall that encircles the town, which is made of wood, stone, or magical force. Contains gates, and small towers for sentries. Each five-foot wide, five-foot thick panel of this wall has a hardness of ten and 250 hit points if wood, or hardness of fifteen and 800 hit points if stone. With the Magical Force, it provides an effect similar to the wall of force spell that can surround the entire structure for one hour each day.

Any person that consumes a meal in this building gains one hit dice worth of temporary hit points. If the meal was prepared by an individual with proficiency with cook's utensils, those consuming it instead gain two hit dice worth of plus the cooks wisdom modifier of temporary hit points.

Moat
Provides your town with a roughly circular moat around it that is ten feet deep, the inner side of which is within 40 feet of the edge of the structure's physical building. Creatures not large enough to touch the bottom in this moat must swim through it, while creatures large enough to walk on the bottom while remaining somewhat above water treat the moat as difficult terrain. The moat also has a drawbridge twenty feet wide and long enough to span the moat, that can be raised and lowered from a gate inside your structure.

Theatre
A character can visit the location to gain gain 1d4 of Bardic Inspiration (as per the bard class feature, however it lasts 24 hours instead of ten minutes), which costs 2GP. If the character pays a bard character to perform, they instead gain that bard's level of inspiration (d6,d8,d10 or d12). A bard cannot charge less then 2GP for their services.

An adventure can spend a day working here to gain 1d8+CHA SP at the end of the day. If the character is proficient in Charisma (Performance), they instead gain 2d6+CHA GP at the end of the day.
