This is a list of sources of additional resources. There are many ways to increase the various resources beyond their normal limits with class features and items.

Common resources

Actions

In combat, Actions are the most important resource. Gaining additional actions to spend each turn is potentially very strong. Below is a list of all the items, spells, or class features that can grant additional actions.

Note that in Honour mode, these additional actions (except Action Surge Action Surge) do not work with Extra Attack Extra Attack. This means, for example, that a Hastened Hastened level 11 Fighter Fighter can attack 4 times (3 times with the first action, but only once with the second action). Outside of Honour mode, this fighter could attack 6 times per turn (3 times for each action).

Consumables

Items

Class features

  • Action Surge Action Surge: Gain an additional Action, once per short rest. Unlike other sources of additional actions, the Action granted by Action Surge works with Extra Attack Extra Attack in Honour mode.
  • Haste Haste: Apply Hastened Hastened to the target, giving an additional Action each turn for up to 10 turns. When the spell ends or concentration is prematurely broken, the target becomes Lethargic Lethargic.

Bonus actions

By default, characters have a single Bonus action to spend each turn. There are a few items and class features that can increase this.

Items

Class features

Reactions

By default, characters have one Reaction which is replenished at the start of each turn. There is only one way to gain additional reactions.

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).
