What Rest Does

When a character rests, the following happens: - HP: Restored to maximum HP - Stat Modifications: All temporary stat buffs/debuffs are removed - Effects: All temporary effects are cleared - Base Stats: Character returns to their original ability scores

Notes

  • Players can only rest their own characters
  • DMs can rest any combatant by name
  • The character must be in the current initiative to be rested
  • Rest removes ALL temporary modifications - there's no selective removal
  • The initiative tracker automatically updates to show the rested character's restored state
  • Combatant names are matched case-insensitively and support partial matching
  • If multiple combatants match the name, you'll see a list of matching names
  • Players with multiple characters in initiative can specify which character to rest by name
  • If no character name is provided, the command uses the player's currently selected character
  • Rest follows the Shadowdark RPG resting rules
  • !hp - Modify HP values
  • !stats - Modify ability scores
  • !effect - Add or remove status effects
  • !initiative - Initiative tracking and management
