Rest and Survival
Rest and Recovery is vital for creatures to heal and recover their faculties and capability to perform actions. Rest itself consists of non-strenuous activities – fighting, prolonged movement/travel, active research and analysis/experimentation, etc. preclude getting rest and regaining Health.

Rest cycles are assessed as Short or Long and are critical to regaining the debilitation suffered from Wounds.

Generally, 1 Short Rest cycle will alleviate a single Wound.
