- You rest for a while to re-energize.
- You spend some time reading a pocket paperback and feel recharged.
- You stop in at a convenience store for a light snack and a bottle of water. You feel refreshed.
- You take a seat on a park bench and practice some light meditation.
- With a remote:
- Sweet Relaxation You stop by your hideout to rest for a minute. Remembering the remote control you've been carrying around, you dig it out and watch some television. It's far more satisfying than watching television without a remote. FAR more.
- Unfortunately, after a few minutes of use the aura from your super powers shorts out the remote. Weird. Ah, well, it was nice while it lasted.
- Drowsing:
- You stop by your hideout to rest for a minute, but your extreme drowsiness causes to fall into a brief but exceptionally deep sleep. When you wake you feel completely refreshed.
- In Lux Leather:
- You kick back in the Lux Leather deluxe chair, soaking up all that powerful leather goodness.
- In a Wigwam:
- You curl up in your Wiggum wigwam for a nice wittle west. It's vewy welaxing.
- On a mattress
- You stretch out on your overstuffed mattress and let your troubles drift away.
- When you are the holder of the Plush Recliner of Wisdom:
- You thoughtfully relax for a while on the Plush Recliner of Wisdom.
- When you are the holder of the Oaken Bench of Might:

Notes
- On average, resting will give you 4*Level HP and PP, capping at 40 HP and PP at 10th level.
- Resting for a turn requires 5 minutes for a 1st level hero, but decreases by 30 seconds at every 4th level (4th, 8th, 12th, 16th, and 20th) down to a minimum of 2:30 per rest. Resting times are unaffected by Time modifiers.
| Level | Time taken |
|---|---|
| 1-3 | 5 min. |
| 4-7 | 4:30 min. |
| 8-11 | 4 min. |
| 12-15 | 3:30 min. |
| 16-19 | 3 min. |
| 20- | 2:30 min. |
- Resting with a remote consumes it. If you have both lost remote controls and long-lost remote controls in your inventory, a lost remote control is consumed.
- Deep drowsing, Lux relaxing, Wigwam napping and using mattress do not consume the respective item.
- Trying to rest when your bed time is less time away than the number of minutes required for resting results in:
Can't Rest, Too Tired
I know it sounds silly, but you're too tired to rest right now. In other words, as exhausted as you are, if you sat down now you'd fall asleep and then wake up to find yourself robbed and--even worse--possibly murdered. You've got to go home now or you're not going to make it through the work day tomorrow. You don't want to get fired, do you?
- Trying to rest after 7:00 AM on any day but Frayday results in:
Can't Rest, Gotta Work
Sadly, you don't have time to rest right now. Work starts in an hour, and you've got to get home and get cleaned up. If you wanted to sit around resting, you should have thought about that before staying up all night playing with your friends. "Playing" being code for "saving the city" and "with your friends" meaning "from evil."
