How to gain DTP?
DTP is gained by 3 ways currently:
- 2 DTP are added automatically every real-life day to your sheet once you log your first session
- Hosting a session grants you DTP equal to 4 times the session's length in hours
- Exchanging Karma pts to DTP
Changing your Name
You can use 1 DTP to legally change the name of your character across the multiverse.
Copying Spells for Wizards
When you find a wizard spell of 1st level or higher, you can add it to your spellbook if it is of a spell level you can prepare and if you can spare the time to decipher and copy it.
For each level of the spell, the process takes 2 hours and costs 50 gp. (the gold and time you must spend to copy spells for some subclasses is halved.)
A wizard spell on a spell scroll can be copied just as spells in spellbooks can be copied. When you copy a spell from a spell scroll, you must succeed on an Intelligence (Arcana) check with a DC equal to 10 + the spell's level. If the check succeeds, the spell is successfully copied. Whether the check succeeds or fails, the spell scroll is destroyed.
Copying from another SpellbookSame as Copying from a Spell Scroll but it doesn't require a roll.
Character Name: random wizard name
Downtime Activity: Copying Spells from someone else
Cost: 350gp + 2dtp
Result: Copied 1st and 2nd level Wizard spells (detect magic, identify, comprehend languages, catapult, augury, detect thoughts, mind spike, locate object, see invisibility)
Learning a New Language or Tool Proficiency
Receiving training in a language or tool typically takes at least ten workweeks, but this time is reduced by a number of workweeks equal to the character's Intelligence modifier (an Intelligence penalty doesn't increase the time needed). Training costs 25 gp per workweek.
To see how much it would cost for your character to learn, run the following command:
!learning
Working
When all else fails, an adventurer can turn to a Starry Shore worker to earn a living. This activity represents a character's attempt to find temporary work, the quality and wages of which are difficult to predict. Gaining Gold by using DTP depending on your character level and a roll of 3d10:
- T1 - 3d10 x 20
- T2 - 3d10 x 50
- T3 - 3d10 x 100
- T4 - 3d10 x 150
- T5 - 3d10 x 200
!job <DTP amount you want to use>
Example: toby have 30 dtp to spare: !job 30
Religious Service
Character may perform religious service to gain favor with a god (DM discretion) or to awaken and exalt an item. The check (religion or persuasion) determines the benefits of service, as shown on the Religious Service table:
- DC 1-10: 0 Favor
- DC 11-20: 1 Favor
- DC 21+: 2 Favor
*P.S. this is not to worship the gods, that can be done in piety-log. , this is for something like awaking and exalting items*
!service <modifier> <# of Rolls(5 DTP per check)>
Example: toby wants to use 50 DTP to make 10 checks to gain favor and his religion mod is 3: !service 3 10
Spell Change for Known Casters
If your character is one of the classes that picks spells at level-up (Bard, Eldritch Knight, Ranger, Arcane Trickster, Sorcerer, Warlock) and you regret your choices, you can spend that character's DTP and change your choices. The cost is based on the level of the spell you are learning, not the one you are losing.
- Cantrips: 25 DTP
- level 1 spells: 10 DTP
- level 2 spells: 20 DTP
- level 3 spells: 30 DTP
- level 4 spells: 40 DTP
- level 5 spells: 50 DTP
- level 6 spells: 65 DTP
- level 7 spells: 80 DTP
- level 8 spells: 95 DTP
- level 9 spells: 110 DTP
Post in downtime-log. with your character name, spell(s) lost, spell(s) learned and DTP cost, and be sure to track it on your tracking sheet. This is limited to once a month per character and up to three spells at a time.
The Crafting System
Please check out the ⚒️ Crafting page for more info.
⌛ Dunamancy Spells
- Dunamancy spells are treated as wizard spells, but only Chronurgy and Graviturgy wizards can learn them through spellcasting/pact magic features without paying the DTP/GP cost.
- Dunamancy learned through feats or class features other than spellcasting/pact magic do not have a DTP/GP cost.
- Sorcerers, Bards, Warlocks, Rangers, Druids, Clerics, Artificers, Paladins, Arcane Trickster Rogues, Eldritch Knights, Profane Soul Blood hunters, and Heretic Jaeger can learn a Dunamancy spell instead or in place of another spell they would normally gain by following the rules below.
Spend a number of weeks (1 week = 5 DTP) equal to the level of the spell (minimum 1 week) and 50gp per week of research.
*Must be logged in downtime-log. (unless Chronurgy/Graviturgy wizard).
- The spell must be of a level that the character can prepare or learn in the class being used, and cannot be a cantrip.
-
The Check: To learn the spell, make an Intelligence check.
DC = 10 + Spell Level
- Research Bonus: You can add a +1 bonus per additional 100 GP spent, to a maximum of +6.
If the check succeeds, you learn the spell based on your class type:
- Wizards: Add the spell directly to your spellbook.
- Known Casters: (Sorcerers, Warlocks, Bards, Rangers, Arcane Tricksters, Eldritch Knights, Profane Soul, Heretic Jaeger) can change one of their known spells to the newly learned spell.
- Prepared Casters: (Artificers, Druids, Clerics, Paladins) add the spell to the list of spells they can prepare.
- Warlocks: Can replace a Mystic Arcanum (levels 6-9) with the newly learned spell.
Drakkenheim Spells
Spells from Drakkenheim are strictly guarded secrets, and not immediately available to just any caster.
5 DTP and 250 GP per level of the spell to research.
Who can access Drakkenheim Spells?
- Drakkenheim spells are class-specific, and only their listed classes may research them.
- Drakkenheim spells cannot be learned through feats or class features, and cannot be replicated by things like Wish or Mizzium Apparatus.
- The spell must be of a level that the character can prepare or learn in the class being used to learn the spell.
- Some Drakkenheim spells have additional prerequisites, listed below. These spells require a session to complete the research. DMs should log these in persistent-effects-log when successfully learned. The player still logs research in downtime-log.
- Once research is complete, the character may prepare the spell, add it to their spellbook, or replace a spell they already know.
- Due to their dependency on Delirium, scrolls and spellwrought tattoos cannot be made for Drakkenheim spells.

Gods of The Starry Shore!
The gods of Theros The Starry Shore are far more active than the deities of most D&D worlds and can reach all multiverses. But that doesn't mean they are ordinary creatures, they aren't mere mortals, nor are they monsters that can be fought.
The idea of the existence of gods, as it grew in popularity among the mortals of Theros, didn't bring the gods into being by itself. Mortal reverence and worship turned universal ideas into deities. It wasn't until mortals trusted the gods to act on their behalf, in response to sacrifices and prayers
To get the 3 piety feature, you would need 3 characters with at least 3 favor to unlock it!
GODS ARE NOT A JOKE!!
- -1 Piety: Minor infractions
- -3 Piety: Major infractions
- -5 Piety: Severe infractions
Subclass Change
Tasha's Training Time Subclass Change Guidelines:
You have two options to retrain and switch subclasses.
Renting a 3rd Artifact
For prestige players who hit lvl 30 again, you get to be able to buy and use a 3rd artifact!
The taxes must be logged in artifact-and-boon-purchase-log
P.S. This slot doesn't grant the artifact, you still need to buy one for it. That artifact needs to be labeled as the third artifact, because it goes dormant if the taxes are not paid.
Character name: <insert character name here> paid 7 mil GP and 100 DTP
