In Turn-based mode, every character has limited Resources each turn; generally one Action, one Bonus action, and one Reaction for interacting with their environment, and 7.5-10.5m (25-35ft) for navigating around it. There are a variety of items and class features that can grant additional resources, offering a potentially significant increase in effectiveness for one turn, entire combats, or passively for the rest of the game; this is a list of these sources of additional resources.

Common Resources

The following is a list of different types of "Haste", all of which are mutually exclusive; regardless of Condition, only one of these buffs/source of an additional Action may apply to any particular character at once.

  • Since many will apply Lethargic Lethargic and require Concentration, attempting to re-apply the effect will generally result in concentration being broken, thus immediately applying Lethargic and causing the original target to lose their turn.

Movement speed

See List of sources of movement speed.

Restoring common resources

Normally, common resources are only replenished at the start of each turn, but there are a few scenarios where they can be replenished mid-turn:

Instead of being Downed, one can "cheat death" via the effects in the chart below.

  • When the player would normally hit 0 hit points, the "prevention" effect will end, and grant the player healing instead.
    • While multiple effects can be active at once, the order of priority and stacking (or lack thereof) is not fully understood.
  • When a character is "revived" this way, they fully restore their Resources (Action(s), Bonus action(s), Reaction(s), and Movement).
    • This even applies if the character would be downed during their turn (such as from being in range of an explosion that they caused).
Condition Source Replacement Effect Condition Duration Limitation
Survival Instinct Survival Instinct Survival Instinct Survival Instinct 3d4hit points Duration: 3 turns Recharge: Short rest
Death Ward Death Ward The Reviving Hands (Aegis Palms) 1hit points Duration: 2 turns Applies to targets Healed.

Resting

Most resources are only recovered via Resting, though some alternative options exist:

There are additional features ingame which function similarly to taking a rest;

  • The level 2 Bard feature Song of Rest Song of Rest functions identically to a short rest.
  • Potion of Angelic Reprieve functions as a short rest (in addition to recovering all expended 1 Level 1 Spell Slots.png and 1 Level 2 Spell Slots.png Spell Slots), if the character consuming it is left asleep, uninterrupted, for 2 turns.
  • Potion of Angelic Slumber functions as a long rest, if the character consuming it is left asleep, uninterrupted, for 2 turns.
  • Divine Intervention: Opulent Revival Divine Intervention: Opulent Revival restores the party as if they took a long rest, revives any downed party members, and can even be used in combat. However, any form of Divine Intervention can only be used once per character in the entire game.
  • Using a Restoration Pod found aboard the Nautiloid in the prologue or the Mindflayer colony in Act Two, or the boudoir in the House of Hope in Act Three will restore the party as if they took a long rest, without ending relevant effects like Goodberry Goodberry or Elixirs.
