Rest

Short Rest

A short rest is a small time of pause and repose, for one to catch one's breath, ranging from at least 30 minutes to 4 hours long, during which a character can take time to eat, drink, read, meditate, cast rituals and tend to illness and wounds.

For each short rest without a long rest, short rest times increases.

Short Rest	Time
1st	30 min
2nd	1 hour
3rd	2 hours
4th + n	4 hours

Death save failures reset on short rest. At the end of a short rest, players may spend 1 hit dice to recover 1 level of exhaustion. Only 1 dice per short rest, per long rest may be spent this way.

Long Rest

Long rests take 8 hours, during which a character sleeps for at least 6 hours and performs no more than 2 hours of light activity, such as reading, talking, eating, or standing watch.

At the end of a long rest, a character regains spent hit dice. A character automatically regain any lost hit points, and finishing a long rest reduces a creature's exhaustion level by 1, provided that the creature has also ingested their full requirement for food and drink.

A character can't benefit from more than one long rest in a 24-hour period, and a character must have at least 1 hit point at the start of the rest to gain its benefits.
