Pit Fighting*
This downtime activity covers boxing, wrestling, and other nonlethal forms of combat.
This activity requires one work week of effort from a character.
The character must make a series of checks, with a DC determined at random based on the quality of the opposition that the character runs into.
The challenge in pit fighting lies in the mystery of your opponents. The character makes three checks: Strength (Athletics), Dexterity (Acrobatics), and Wisdom (Insight). The DC is 5 + 2d10, generating a separate DC for each check.
