Overview

If players decide to take a Breather, it means their characters take time in-Universe to rest up.

Your Conductor determines how long a Breather takes inside the Universe. For epic, month-spanning adventures a Breather might signify a night’s rest. For a quick-on-your-toes heist, 5 minutes might be more than enough to catch your breath. While taking a Breather, your character is occupied with resting and can't concentrate on anything else.

When taking a Breather, a player may choose one of the following effects for their character:

• Gain 5 Endurance.

• Reset your Focus to your Base Focus.

• See your Power for other options.

This means to completely refresh your character, you might need multiple Breathers. It's considered good manners to take the same amount of Breathers as other players require.

Conductor's Notes

As a Conductor, it is important to set the player's expectations for this rule, so it is advised to decide on a specified amount of time and stick to it consistently.
