| description | Apply a D&D 5e short rest to the active character — optionally spend hit dice to heal, recharge short-rest abilities (Warlock spell slots, Fighter Action Surge / Second Wind, Monk ki, Channel Divinity, etc.). Trigger when the player rests for 1 hour (PHB) or whatever the campaign's resting house rule specifies. |
Short Rest
Apply a short rest per the campaign's resting house rule (default PHB: 1 hour).
0. Prerequisites
mise --version, mise run roll -- 1d20.- Determine campaign slug + active character.
1. Validate
Read campaign.md for the resting house rule. Confirm the fiction supports it (relative safety, time available, no immediate threats).
Default rule durations:
- PHB: 1 hour.
- Gritty realism: 8 hours.
- Heroic: 5 minutes.
2. Spend Hit Dice (Optional)
Ask the player how many hit dice to spend (0 to current pool size).
For each die:
mise run roll -- 1d<hit-die> — show the result.- HP regained for that die = roll + CON modifier.
Sum the regained HP and apply, capped at max HP. Decrement the hit-dice pool by the number spent. Hit dice spent on a short rest are not refunded — they only refill on long rest.
3. Recharge Short-Rest Abilities
Reset features that recharge on a short rest:
- Warlock spell slots → all (Pact Magic).
- Fighter Action Surge (1 use at L2; 2 at L17). Second Wind (1 use).
- Monk ki points → all.
- Channel Divinity (Cleric: 1/SR at L2, 2 at L6, 3 at L18; Paladin: 1/SR at L3).
- Any class/feature explicitly marked "1/short rest" or "regains on a short or long rest".
Skip features the active character doesn't have at their current level.
Note: Wizard Arcane Recovery is once per long rest, not short — but the player may invoke it during a short rest if unused this day.
4. Advance In-Game Time
Update state.md.in_game_date by the rest duration.
5. Persist
Save the character sheet and state.md. If a session is open, append a beat to sessions/<NNN>.md.
Every file written must follow the File Conventions in AGENTS.md (final newline, LF, UTF-8, no trailing whitespace).
6. Confirm
Tight summary: hit dice spent and HP healed, short-rest abilities reset, time advanced.
