Farewells are never easy. When retiring from a life of adventure, you must think about how your departure will affect the party. How do you divide your loot? This is a worthwhile discussion to have with other players, as the party likely earned some of your money, tools, treasures, and magic items during an adventure. A good rule of thumb is to consider what your character will need in their new life away from danger. Gold goes a long way when they don’t need to spend it on potions and weapons, and there won’t be much need for weapons or magic items that are combat-oriented when retiring to a life of relative peace and quiet. Choose what items you think are important for your character to keep when they retire. Treasures, weapons, and magic items of sentimental value are perfect memorabilia for your character to take into their new life and could be helpful if danger finds them again... How will the party fare without your character’s expertise? Will their departure result in any skill gaps within the group? Do they prepare for this loss in advance, preparing their replacement through the [[Train an Apprentice]] Downtime Activity or imparting their knowledge through the [[Teach a Class]] Downtime Activity?
