Homebrew Downtime Feat and New Facility

Here's a homebrew feat and facility to enhance daily living at Phoenix Base!

Sports Fan

MP Cost: 3

Requirement: Athletics or Culture

You are a true fan of sports, either to play or to participate. You enjoy taking in sports matches from a variety of worlds as they become available, and you may also eagerly take up opportunities offered by members of other cultures to join them to play team sports. When you spend downtime at the Sports Fields, you may choose to add the Facility bonus of the Sports Fields to your Dexterity and Constitution saves for the duration of the mission. Additionally, you may add the Facility bonus of the Rec Hall to Culture checks made to quote current sports stats and trade banter with members of alien cultures which have galactic presence.

Sports Fields

When started, the sports fields are small areas of flattened and cleared ground, near the gardens outside the Base Gate. The sports fields are where members of the Phoenix Site staff as well as the civilians of Haven can unwind and enjoy a variety of sports together. As the fields develop and grow, a series of multi-purpose sports fields, ball courts, and even possibly an Olympic-sized swimming pool will take shape, to accommodate the many cultural sports activities growing around Haven. How the fields develop depend on interactions between the players and the NPC leaders of Haven, and is generally up to the GM.

Benefit: When you spend your downtime in the sports fields, choose Athletics or Acrobatics. You gain a bonus equal to the sports fields' facility bonus to checks made with that skill.

Sauna and Hot Springs

This facility is where members of Phoenix Base can relax and unwind. Surprisingly popular with humans, Jaffa, and Aturen, these spaces are quickly spreading to Haven in general. Saunas and hot springs help restore achy muscles and foster a sense of quiet contemplation and community.

Benefit: When you spend your downtime in the sauna or hot springs, choose Athletics or Culture. You gain a bonus equal to the facility bonus to checks made with that skill. Additionally, if the facility bonus is +2 or higher, ythen the first time you suffer exhaustion during the next mission, you suffer one less level of exhaustion. If this reduces the incoming exhaustion to zero, you do not suffer exhaustion.

That brings up the question, "What sports might the other cultures have?"

Greek based would have Olympics based athletic tests of skill

I could see Roman/Egyptian having Chariot races.

I'm sure there are others, but I haven't had food yet and caffeine has been minimal.

The javelin catch is always popular.
