[[image:clock-white.gif|right|frame|Time]]
'''Time'''—Time is one of the most critical constraints in Twilight Heroes. Each "day" in the game begins at 7 p.m. in Twilight. It is assumed your hero has finished work for the day, eaten a solid meal, and had time to change into his or her disguise.

From there on out, managing time is an important aspect of the game. Many actions, including patrolling, resting, and certain other activities (like playing in the Virtual Reality Gaming Center) use up time. These actions are always marked with the number of minutes that the action will take, so that you can see ahead of time what you're getting into. Other actions, such as changing equipment, shopping, using skills, checking your journal, or looking around most of the top-level areas of the map (anything not marked with a duration) do not use up any time.

'''Bedtime'''—You also begin each day with a "bedtime," which reflects the amount of energy you have before you need to go to sleep for the night. The default bedtime is 10:30 p.m. However, this can be extended in a number of ways, including drinking energizing beverages or using similar items, or getting an adrenaline rush for completing important tasks, such as gaining a level. Also, if you don't use all of your time on a given day (in other words, you decide to go to bed early and get some extra rest), that remaining time will roll over to the next day, meaning you can stay up even later. After rollover your maximum bedtime becomes 4:00pm regardless of how many turns you have saved up.

'''Turns'''—Most of the game is based on the concept of time, but occasionally it's important to think of things in terms of turns. A turn, essentially, consists of any action your hero takes that consumes time. It doesn't matter how much time: whether it's patrolling an area for 5 minutes or playing a VR game for 10 minutes, that single action constitutes a turn. This is important to know, because there are a number of aspects of the game that hinge on turns. Most importantly, a number of items or effects that allow you to regenerate HP and PP act at the end of each turn. Also, while in the beginning most actions default to taking exactly 5 minutes, later in the game there are a number of ways in which your hero might be slowed down or sped up, so that patrolling could take 5.5 minutes, or 4.5 minutes, or some other amount of time. So it's important to understand that anything which happens once per turn is not affected by the duration of the turn. This also appears in the left-hand character pane, where the approximate number of turns left is calculated based on the current time, your bedtime, and the average amount of time it takes to patrol. Depending on what you actually do, this number might not be very accurate, but is intended as a rough estimate to give you some idea of how many actions you have left.

'''Days'''—Twilight works on a 6-day cycle, which consists of 5 weekdays and one weekend day. Twilight actually has a seven-day week just like the rest of us, but it's assumed that one day a week you need to rest, relax, heal, and take care of real-life stuff like visiting friends and family, or spending quality time with your pets. Since your hero isn't doing anything important on that day, it simply doesn't exist in the game, because boy that would be boring! This means that during the five weekdays (Sunday, Moonday, Thewsday, Winsday, and Starsday) there is also a limit to how late you can stay up: 7 a.m. Even if your bedtime would normally extend beyond that point, at 7 you have to go home, clean up, and get ready for work. It's a shame, but that's just the way the world works. (Your extra time will roll over to the next day, though.) The exception to this rule is Frayday night, when you can stay out as long as you want because the following day is a weekend.

Hero's Cape

2007-12-13T03:24:01Z

Hellfyre n Brimstone: /* Notes */

Go back to [[Items by ID]]

[[Image:cape.gif|center]]

No hero is properly outfitted until they have a cape. Though technically subordinate to the talisman in terms of giving a hero super powers, the cape is perhaps ''the'' defining visual characteristic. It advertises clearly to everyone around you, "This is no average schmoe in funny clothes, this is a ''Hero''."

Besides the visual effect, this cape keeps you warm on cold desert nights and has a surprising amount of storage space built into the lining.

Note: cape is not necessarily the same color as pictured. Actual cape color my vary to suit your outfit, mood, or whatever mental picture you have of yourself. It's a ''damn'' good cape.

'''Accessory'''<br>
'''Item cannot be auto-sold'''<br>

'''+20% item drops'''<br>
'''Regenerates PP as a function of level (currently +x PP per turn)'''<br>
