We all need to rest from time to time. Sometimes everything just gets too much, we get tired, stressed, and just generally beaten down by the world, and it’s no different on Ashenfall.
Rest represents your overall state of resilience. Your ability to overcome to mental trials of the wild. It will deplete over time if you’re not resting, as well as every time you suffer lethal damage. Certain environmental effects will also take their toll.
The lower your Rest, the less functional you’ll be. You’ll find it harder to lug everything around. It becomes more draining to swing an axe, or a sword. Even magic will become more difficult as you tired yourself out.
There are four levels of Rest:
Well-rested - this will leave you functioning at your best
Tired, you’ll start to suffer penalties to your Stamina, as well as your Carrying Capacity.
Knackered - everything is really starting to get to you. You’ll suffer penalties to Stamina, Carry Capacity and even find yourself thirstier and hungrier.
Exhausted- you’ll suffer heavy penalties to Stamina and Carry Capacity, as well as finding spells more expensive to cast.
Fortunately you can recover your Rest with a nice long rest in bed.
