A short rest is an hour long period of downtime in which the character performs no strenuous physical activity. At the end of a short rest, a character regenerates one Stamina Point or removes one level of fatigue. Additionally, they recover a number of Magicka Points determined by dropping the ones place from their Maximum MP. So, if a character’s Maximum Magicka is 56, they recover 5 Magicka. GMs should exercise common sense in determining how frequently the party takes a Short Rest in any given day.
