Each Class has their own strengths and weaknesses, with some being better suited to certain [[Roles]] than others. This section offers advice on which Class is best suited to which Role. Additionally, as [[Stage 2 - Prepare#Resting During a Journey|resting]] is limited when using the Journey Rules, this section provides rules that allow players to spend Hit Dice to recover some of their character’s key Class abilities. Between Encounters, **but not during**, a player can spend the requisite number of Hit Dice to recover a use of their Class abilities, as listed in each class entry. The list of Class abilities in this section focuses on core Class abilities, not subclass abilities. If you would like to offer the opportunity to recover other abilities, a good rule of thumb is as follows - It costs 1 Hit Die to recover a single use of a Class ability that recharges on a Short Rest. - It costs 2 Hit Die to recover a single use of a Class ability that recharges on a Long Rest. >[!note] A Different Class Many *Level Up: Advanced 5th Edition* supplements introduce new and exciting Classes, such as cunning crafters who can build fantastical contraptions, or strange spellcasters who weave magic from blood. If your campaign includes Classes not listed here, don’t worry! Use this section as a guide for how other classes in your campaign can recover their own abilities. For example, any Class with spell slots can use the rules listed in the Wizard or Cleric entry, and you can use Classes with abilities that recharge after a Long Rest (such as a Barbarian’s Rage) as a template for other similar abilities. Likewise, if there is a subclass or archetype that borrows abilities from another class (such as a spellcasting fighter!), allow the character to recover their abilities in the same way. ## Adept #### Exertion Points Between Encounters, you can spend a number of Hit Dice to regain an equal number of [[00-Balance Of Powers/3-Mechanics/9-Maneuvers/Combat Maneuvers#Exertion Pool|exertion points]].
