11 - Activities & Services
Activities
It is possible to heal your own Harm by engaging in an activity that provides relaxation and rest.
Summarize what happens or play a short scene. The activity must involve at least one other person, NPC or player character.
For example, you can have a conversation with someone or pray alone in the woods while a friend keeps watch nearby.
Activities heal 2 levels of Mental or Physical Harm of your choice. Even if multiple player characters are participating in the scene, only one will heal Harm.
You can heal Harm through activities once per day, or as often as the Director sees fit.
Services
Finally, it is possible to purchase medical attention or heal Harm at a local place of healing, by recuperating at some finer establishment, traveling lavishly, or resting at a nice hostel or hotel.
It counts as a special activity that must be bought with a roll for Resources, with a couple of differences. In this case, all participants may heal Harm, and in addition, you can perform the activity yourself. In other words, seeking medical attention at an establishment can only be done in lieu of a regular activity.
