If you prefer a more heroic game with a lower grit level, you can easily change the system towards that in one of the following ways:

Slightly more Heroic

• Characters get 3 Downtime Activities during downtime.
• Characters get 2 Downtime Activities during interludes.
• The party gets one free Interlude per session, without having to spend Tension.

Very Heroic

• Characters automatically recover all health, stress and mana burnout between adventures, without having to spend any Downtime Activities.
• Reduce Downtime Activities to 1 instead of 2.
• Each character takes one of each relax, recover, and recharge for free during interludes, in addition to whatever downtime activity they want to do.
• Allow the party to have interludes whenever the fiction allows it, without having to spend Tension.

More Gritty

If you prefer your game more down-to-earth and darker, you can make the following changes:

• Roll a fortune die instead of the respective abilities for Downtime Activities > Recover, Downtime Activities > Relax and Downtime Activities > Recharge.
• Also roll a fortune die for Magic Artefacts and gain charges equivalent to the highest die, up to their maximum number of charges, instead of fully charging during downtime.
