A [[Short Rest]] is a 1-hour period of downtime, during which a creature does nothing more strenuous than reading, talking, eating, or standing watch. To start a [[Short Rest]], you must have at least 1 [[Hit Points|Hit Point]]. **Benefits of a Short Rest.** When you finish a [[Short Rest]] you gain the following benefits: **Spend Hit Point Dice.** You can spend one or more of your [[Hit Points|Hit Point Dice]] to regain [[Hit Points|Hit Points]]. For each [[Hit Points|Hit Point Dice]] you spend in this way, roll the die and add your [[Constitution]] modifier to it. You regain [[Hit Points]] equal to the total (minimum of 1 hit point). You can decide to spend an additional [[Hit Points|Hit Point Dice]] after each roll. **Special Feature.** Some features are recharged by a [[Short Rest]]. If you have such a feature, it recharges in the way specified in its description. **Interrupting the Rest.** A [[Short Rest]] is stopped by the following interruptions: - Rolling [[Initiative]] - Casting a spell other than a cantrip - Taking any damage
