[QUOTE="pming, post: 8212150, member: 45197"] Hiya! Short Rest: "About an hour or so of cat-napping, sitting around a fire waiting for the rice and beans to cook, having a drink and a pipe, cleaning of weapons/armour, feeding the horses, etc". Basically, just causal, slow, non-exerting, non-mentally demanding tasks. For about an hour. (My House Rule: I roll 1d4 to 1d12 [depends on how long ago the last rest was] and multiply that by 10; add this to 30...that's how many actual minutes everyone Short Rests) Long Rest: "A good nights sleep. Actual sleep, in a relatively safe and comfortable location. Involves all the pre and post sleep routines...change of clothes, hygiene tasks, minor repairs on clothes/equipment, full meal in your belly". Basically, a full on 'just got home from a hard days work' routine. (My House Rule: Pretty much as above, but with an additional modifier based on how safe and comfortable everyone is; rotting furs on a cold, wet cave floor with a dead ogre 15' away...gonna be some penalties; safe at your own home with your wife/husband and children/friends taking care of you as you rest and recover...gonna be some bonuses). ^_^ Paul L.
