Stamina, Mana, Rest and Potions
Recover from early resource shortages in Underkeep with the documented rest and potion systems, and separate support roles from damaging spells.
FAQ
Why can an early party feel short on actions?
What recovery tools are confirmed?
Why can an early party feel short on actions?
Developer replies acknowledge low early health pools and explain that not every class starts with damaging spells. A healing-focused character is not automatically broken because another hero can attack more directly. Look at the action requirements and resources in your current interface, then choose whether to use support, equipment or a positional adjustment.

What recovery tools are confirmed?
The developer specifically names a Rest button and potions in response to resource complaints. Use the current prompts to understand their conditions and effects. This guide does not invent a fixed recovery-per-turn value, a safe unlimited-rest location or a guaranteed way to ignore danger while recovering.
What can you do before spending another spell?
Check whether the target requires a spell right now, whether a support action is more useful and whether the equipped weapon can contribute. The long-reach staff change was announced in 2026. Keep the available recovery options in mind when preparing another encounter instead of assuming the only solution is choosing a different class.
