Resting Rules

Rest is a required rule. When characters are low on health, they may choose to take 1 of 3 durations of resting, 30 minutes (short), 2 hours (medium), and 8 hours (long). During this time, most of the rest must be spent on downtime to fully recover hp and abilities. All class specific abilities with set amounts of uses must be recharged on a rest, depending on the ability's required duration. Downtime means that characters may not take physically or mentally exhaustive tasks. Now, onto the duration of rests!
