Short Rest Potion Rule: Maximum Healing

Short Rest Potion Rule: Maximum Healing


During a Short Rest, if a character consumes a Potion of Healing, they regain the maximum amount of hit points the potion can provide, instead of rolling.

  • A standard Potion of Healing restores 10 hit points automatically (2d4+2 at maximum).

  • This benefit only applies during a Short Rest — not during combat or active adventuring.

  • Drinking a potion during a Short Rest is considered part of normal rest activity and requires no special action.


📜 Example:

  • In Combat: Potion of Healing = Roll 2d4+2 hit points.

  • During a Short Rest: Potion of Healing = Regain 10 hit points automatically.
