A short rest lasts for about 1 hour and allows characters to catch their breath, tend to minor injuries, and regain some energy.
Characters can only take 2 short rests per day.
Furthermore, the player must choose between recovering their HP or their MP, but cannot do both.
HP Recovery
During a short rest, characters can recover a number of HP equal to their Constitution modifier (CON) all bonuses included, plus their level, added to a roll of their hit die.
- HP recovered = Character Level + Hit Die
If the value of recovered HP is less than zero, the character regains 1 HP.
MP Recovery
Characters can also recover a number of MP equal to their Wisdom modifier (WIS) all bonuses included, plus their level.
- MP recovered = Character Level + WIS
If the value of recovered MP is less than zero, the character regains 1 MP.
