Rest

Once per Scene, or as it ends, the Players may choose to Rest, as Appropriate. Doing so has several restorative benefits to Characters who participate.

A Rest is a break for a Character, most commonly taking a meal, treating wounds or taking time to relax and process recent events. A Rest can take many forms, as long as it's Appropriate within the context of the current Scene, for example a quick power nap in the back of a car, nodding off in a train, eating a synth-dog at a street cart or taking a drink of water at a stream.

The benefits of a Rest are as follows:

Example: If Johnny Tutorial has a Concussion Injury, Severity: 30, and has 12 out of 16 Health remaining. If he has 6 Brawn, when he Rests, he will restore 4 Health and then reduce the Severity of his Concussion by 2.
