	''Downtime'' is the name for what your character does between uptimes (interactives and linears) when you’re not actually playing them. It is used to simulate what your character does while ‘offscreen’ and allows you to find items, learn interesting information, or alter the game world in another way. Some [[skills]] are only useable in downtime.		''Downtime'' is the name for what your character does between uptimes (interactives and linears) when you’re not actually playing them.
