Making Camp
Making Camp happens whenever one starts a Rest longer than 3 hours. Camping has certain activities available to it:
- Prepping a Fire
- Cooking a meal
- Readying a shelter
- Setting a watch
Short Rests don’t need these, but others do, and ultimately it is a determination for the players.
Watches
A watch is a two-hour period where one is on guard duty. One cannot gain the benefits of a rest while on Watch.
Someone on Watch must make a Sentry check every two hours.
A Watch can take place within the Camp itself, or from out to 50 feet nearby. In any case, the Watch performs a Sentry check to identify potential risks once each watch, against a DC determined by the GM.
On success, the Watch can identify that something is happening. What is happening may vary, and may need additional checks to determine.
Shelter
Shelter has significant effects on Rest. A shelter is a place that is
- Comfortable,
- Safe from the weather,
- Safe from hazards,
- Enclosed, and
- With a secure entry.
Benefits of a Shelter:
- Resting in a Shelter allows one to skip the limit on number of times a rest can be taken in a given period.
- Resting in a shelter increases the number of Fatigue points that can be recovered by 1.
- Resting in a Shelter can add 2 Hit Dice to a Short Rest healing.
- Resting in a Shelter can add 2 Hit Dice to a Field Rest healing.
- Resting in a Shelter can fully recover all hit points on a Long Rest.
- Resting in a Shelter allows immediate return to the rest after an interruption without extending the time.
- Rest in a Shelter allows an additional 2 hours of Training or Crafting time if those are part of a Rest.
Resting
Heroic though they might be adventurers can’t spend every hour of the day in the thick of exploration, social interaction, and combat. They need rest—time to sleep and eat, tend their wounds, refresh their minds and spirits for spellcasting, and brace themselves for further adventure. You can use downtime between adventures to recover from a debilitating injury, disease, or poison.
All Rests are periods of light, daily, ordinary tasks that are not strenuous, such as eating, drinking, reading, dozing, sleeping, standing watch, and tending to wounds. Rest Periods of a Week (7 Days) or longer allow for exercise or Training of certain lengths, and for Crafting anything beyond handiwork, without impacting the benefits of the Rest.
