A character may decide to get themselves some good old fashioned Rest and Relaxation in the DT safe zones after a particularly trying adventure, taking some time to rest and recover from the hardships that come with a life of adventure. A number of settlements have baths and other amenities that can cater to characters looking to unwind.

Location

Relaxation can always be done in Stoneleaf, Daring Heights, New Hillborrow, Fort Ettin, or Port Ffirst.

With DTDM agreement, Relaxation can be done anywhere a character can live a Modest (or above) lifestyle without significant stress.

Resources: Taking Time Off

Proper relaxation requires you to take your time. This DTA can be carried out spending either 1 Light or Taxing DTA Slot. The character must also be maintaining at least a modest lifestyle for the duration of the DT week to receive the benefits of this activity. Only 1 Light DTA slot per DT week can be spent for the Relaxation DTA.

Resolution: Unwinding

Characters who maintain at least a modest lifestyle while relaxing gain several benefits. If a Light DTA slot was spent relaxing, a character gains +1 on their next saving throw. If a Taxing DTA slot was spent, a character can choose to either: gain +2 to their next saving throw; end one effect that keeps them from regaining hit points; restore one ability score that has been reduced to less than its normal value. This benefit, however, cannot be used if the harmful effect was caused by a spell or some other magical effect with an ongoing duration.

Characters carrying out this DTA with a trained pet might gain extra benefits. See the commands descriptions in the Pet Training section for details.

Complications

Complications arising from Relaxation are rare, so no complications roll is required for this DTA, but the DTDMs may decide to introduce one tied to recent events or activities in exceptional circumstances. The Relaxation DTA does provide, however, an opportunity to narratively explore how the character recovers from illness or injury and provide some further insight into character progression.
