Rest for a turn

Resting Messages

• A friend calls you on your cell phone, and you take a break from patrolling to chat for a bit.
• 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.

Result

• You gain X hit points. You gain Y power points.

Notes

• On average, resting will give you roughly 4*Level HP and PP, capping at roughly 40 HP and PP at 10th level.
• If you rest while wearing a night cap PP gain is raised by 5.
• If you rest with the Drowsiness effect, HP and PP gained are half your total. You also get a special message:

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.

• If you rest with either lost remote control or long-lost remote control in your inventory you gain full HP and much more PP than usual. You also get a special message:

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.

• 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.
