Resting

Short Rest:

One hour of light effort, nothing more strenuous than talking, sitting, tending to wounds etc. You get the following options and benefits:-

• Spend one or more Hit Dice to regain hit points by rolling dice for your HD.
• Reduce temporary Corruption by your proficiency bonus.
• Spend one or more Hit Dice to reduce temporary Corruption again by your proficiency bonus.

Long Rest:

Eight hours of rest, six of which must be spent sleeping. You get the following benefits and options:-

• Recover HP equal to the maximum value of your HD + Con modifier.
• Reduce temporary Corruption by twice your proficiency bonus.
• Spend one or more Hit Dice to regain hit points by rolling dice for your HD.
• Spend one or more Hit Dice to reduce temporary Corruption again by your proficiency bonus.

Extended Rest:

An extended rest is at least 24 hours of rest in a safe place. The following benefits are gained:-

• Regain all HP
• Recover all your Hit Dice
• Temporary Corruption reduces to 0

Hit Dice can only be regained on an Extended Rest.

 

Corruption

Certain events or actions (such as casting spells) will increase your corruption levels. Corruption starts at 0 and increases from that point depending on the actions that you take. In certain cases, dependent on class and origin selected, you may even begin with permanent corruption.

Each character begins with a corruption threshold, calculated as such:-

Non-Mystic Characters:-

Corruption Threshold = Proficiency Bonus x 2 + Charisma Modifier

Mystic Characters:-

Corruption Threshold = Proficiency Bonus x 2 + Spellcasting Modifier

There are a variety of ways that both temporary and permanent corruption can be accrued dependent on the events of the game, such as casting a spell, using a magical item, in-game events etc. If your corruption score (temporary + permanent) ever crosses your corruption threshold, then you will gain a Mark of Corruption, which we can discuss in-game when, or if, this happens.

If your permanent corruption score ever crosses your threshold, then the character will be thoroughly corrupted and become a blight-beast under the control of the GM.
