Carousing!

    Blowing off steam in the downtimes between dangerous dungeon delvings is something of a tradition for adventurous spirits such as yourself. We will use this table to determine what happens when gold, liquor, and a wanton attitude mix together.

 

    To go carousing, a player spends gold up to 100GP x their level and gains EXP equal to that amount then rolls as instructed below.

    First, roll to save vs. poison. If the save vs. poison failed, subtract the difference from the second roll. if it succeeded, add the difference. then roll another d20 modified by the first result.
