Edges are permanent bonuses bought with roleplay points. Each one costs between 50 and 150 RP, and each one changes a specific mechanic rather than giving a broad stat boost. Look one up in game with `discuss help <edge>`.

**Edges are currently disabled from purchase. The [Immortals](/wiki/Immortals) can still award them.**

# Recovery

## Restful Body

*50 RP.*

You gain more hit points per tick while resting or sleeping, as long as you are below 95% health. The bonus lands after fast healing and regeneration are calculated, and before modifiers like hunger, slow, and plague apply. The exact value depends on your level and how far below maximum you are.
