At which point does a character regain all their Hit Dice?

$begingroup$


I have found all explanations of regaining Hit Dice after a short or long rest, but I can't seem to find at which point a character regains all their Hit Dice. Is it after a campaign? At leveling up? After some days of full rest?

After multiple Long Rests



To my knowledge, there are no effects which reliably recover all spent Hit Dice all at once. The primary way to recover Hit Dice is through taking a Long Rest—but you can only recover up to half your total Hit Dice per Long Rest.




At the end of a long rest, a character regains all lost hit points. The character also regains spent Hit Dice, up to a number of dice equal to half of the character's total number of them. You regain at least 1 Hit Die when you finish a long rest.



—Resting, Player's Handbook, pg. 186




So if a character has spent all their hit dice and wants to recover all of their spent hit dice, they will need to spend two (or possibly three, if their DM rounds the hit dice down for Odd levels) Long Rests to fully recover all of their Hit Dice. It is all cumulative though, so if you've spent less than half your hit dice, a single Long Rest will recover all of your Hit Dice.

    @asgallant: True, but that's a weird mechanical difference between odd and even level numbers. You could easily house-rule that you don't round in this case, but partial hit-dice can't be spent (just tracked). So 2 long rests always adds up to all your hit dice. Or house-rule that 2 full days of mostly rest (no combat or other big stress) recover all your HD.

A CLEAN and SIMPLE way to add appendices to Table of Contents and bookmarks

Image
0 I found a lot of questions abount appendices and ToC. Many users want appendices to be grouped in an Appendix part, however some problems arise with ToC, hyperref, PDF viewer bookmarks, and so on. There are different solutions which require extra packages, command patching and other extra code, however none of them satisfies me. I almost found an easy way to accomplish a good result, where appendices are added to bookmarks in the right way and hyperref links point to the right page. However, the number of the "Appendix" part page is wrong (it's the number of appendix A). Is there any EASY way to fix that? This is a MWE: documentclass{book} usepackage[nottoc,notlot,notlof]{tocbibind} usepackage{hyperref} begin{document} frontmatter tableofcontents mainmatter part{First} chapter{
