Rest, Recovery & Advancement
Between dangers, the game breathes in two lengths — and everything you spend comes back on one of them.
Short Rest
An hour of catching your breath. Spend Hit Dice — one per level — rolling each plus Constitution to heal. Warlock Pact Magic and many class features (Second Wind, Channel Divinity) also return here. The text: @Missing file.
Long Rest
Eight hours, one per day. You wake at full hit points, recover half your Hit Dice, and get back slots and long-rest features. The 2024 revision made interruptions gentler: a disruption costs an hour, and only a full hour of fighting or marching restarts the clock. The text: @Missing file.
Exhaustion
The 2024 track is one clean, cumulative penalty — and it is everywhere in this revision, from forced march to failed Constitution saves. Each level of Exhaustion subtracts 2 × level from every D20 Test and 5 × level feet from your Speed. At level 6, you die. A Long Rest removes exactly one level. Your sheet tracks exhaustionLevel and applies both taxes automatically (@Missing file); the arithmetic is relentless, which is the point. Fear the third day of forced march.
Dying, properly
Zero hit points means death saves (chapter 4) — but massive damage that overshoots your maximum by your maximum kills outright. Keep @Missing file where your friends can reach your body — in this revision it takes only a bonus action to drink one.
Leveling up
Experience points come from overcoming challenges. Combat XP is printed on every monster file, and the thin gold bar under your hit points shows how close you are to the next level. Each level brings hit points, new features from your class and subclass files, and sometimes new spell slots. Levels 4, 8, 12, and 16 grant an Ability Score Improvement or another General feat, and level 19 grants an Epic Boon. Raise level and the sheet unfolds the rest.
Multiclassing
Instead of a level in your class, you can take a level in a new one. You need a 13 in the primary ability of your current class and of the new class. Pick a Second Class on the Features tab and raise Second Class Level along with Level. Your total level still sets your Proficiency Bonus and XP, your spell slots follow the multiclass spellcaster rules, and both classes' features and resources appear on your sheet.
Tracking what you spend
The Resources card at the top of your sheet shows every limited use as circles. Tap a circle to spend or restore one. Spell slots, Pact Magic, Rage, Channel Divinity, and the rest refill on the rest shown beside them.
