That would be good. I would really like to get some xp.

Keep in mind, spending downtime units doesn't get you a lot of xp. But you definitely get more bang for your buck, so to speak, if you have four people working on the same item.

I choose to read this as "team work makes the dream work."

Question for the near future: If one finds themselves unconscious but with hit dice remaining to spend, do they need to wait the full 1d4 hours to regain their 1hp or can they go through the first hour as a short rest and recover via their hit die?

I was looking it up and there seems to be conflicting agreements.

For reference: https://rpg.stackexchange.com/...woken-up-prematurely

(I know it's an old thread but it most thoroughly sums up what I found.)

Interesting question. Does regaining hp through the use of hit dice constitute an action you need to be conscious about?

If short rest follows the rules of long rests then yes, since you can't benefit from a long rest unless you start with 1 hp. Added the fact that the rule on waking up from an unconscious condition doesn't specify you can use hit dice to do it would indicate that it's external healing or 1d4 hours that does it.

Since a short rest is essentially non-strenuous activity it would seem it doesn't take a conscious action.

Interestingly, as they discussed in the linked thread, the restriction on gaining the benefits of a long rest only working if you have 1hp is not a part of the short rest rules. There's a lot of good debate on both sides in that thread.

Also the exact wording of waking up from unconsciousness induced by dropping to zero hit points is as simple as "This unconsciousness ends if you regain any hit points." Which seems pretty non-exclusive but is also very open ended. Which is why DM rulings are always my go to, hence asking.

I thought I'd ask since we have two unconscious members of our party on patrol right now. 1 hour vs up to 4 hours isn't a terribly big deal in the grand scheme of things but it could be significant enough to have an impact. Gotta make it through this encounter to see if it even matters though lol.

On a separate note:
 How's everybody's weekend going?

Watch out for the wildlife!!

Going well here. Yours?

Wendel, I don't mind allowing it if the Narrator doesn't mind.

Congrats on the new store Sai :D

Hope we don't get so many shops that our games are on page 2, past all the notices. Lol.

I fear at this point, that's inevitable!

Might I suggest one notice thread that acts as a directory, and contains links to the various shop threads which then don't need to be notices themselves?

That's a good idea.

Agreed ... then take the others off notice, and let the shops float among the threads as they are needed

That is a very good idea.

PS: You might want to also remove some of the locations as notices. Not sure if you are still working on that :)

That is a very nice Thread Index.
I think that does the job very well.

In reply to Santio (msg # 27):

Agreed, looks great.

It is very nice and keeps things a lot cleaner! Nicely done

@ Conspirator no rush. When you get the number can you PM it too me?

So....where are y'all from?

I'm living in sunny Perth!

Considerably less sunny Ballarat for me :)

Great job on the threads list!

Thank Victor, it was his hard work. ^_^

Home base is California for myself. But this week I'm in the midwest for most of the week and next I think it's easy coast.

What's it like over in Perth and Ballarat?
