Universal Downtime Engine

A robust, highly configurable Downtime and Learning Manager for Foundry VTT. This module integrates seamlessly into the Tidy5e character sheet and utilizes native D&D 5e Activities to provide a modern, automated system for tracking training, masteries, and custom downtime projects.

Whether your players are learning a new language, training a feat, or mastering a tool proficiency, this engine handles time management, cost calculation, and progress tracking automatically.


🌟 Key Features

For the Players


👥 Party Management & Time Distribution

While players manage their own projects, the Game Master can oversee the entire party and distribute training time through the Group Learning tab on any Group/Party actor.


🎲 Training Mechanics

The engine supports three primary ways to resolve training, configurable per project or globally:

  1. Direct Resolution: Progress is gained at a 1:1 ratio with time spent.
  2. Roll Resolution: Standard d20-based checks using a configurable formula (e.g., 1d20 + @abilities.int.mod + @tutelage).
  3. Mathematical (Bulk) Resolution: For large blocks of time, the engine can use a statistical formula to calculate the expected progress, maintaining mathematical fairness without rolling dozens of dice.

Bulk vs. Separate Resolution

When spending a "Bulk" time unit (like a Day composed of multiple Hours), players can choose:


👨‍🏫 Tutelage & Guidance

Progress isn't just about time; it's about who is teaching you.


🛠️ In-Game Configuration

1. Module Settings

Configure global rules, default DC, critical success behavior, and your custom "Time Units" (e.g., Hour = 1, Day = 10, Week = 70).

2. Project Setup (Item Sheet)

Any Item can be turned into a "Learning Project." Configure its target goal, requirements, and completion rewards.
