Re: Should rest scale with size?
I think it should scale in proportion to base ST, not size. Since ST represents not only Strength but also Endurance / Vitality / Health, it sounds rational to me that one should recover from Fatigue more quickly with high ST than with low.
This would indirectly favor size too, since (usually) the bigger something is, the higher its ST. |

Re: Should rest scale with size?
NPCs recover fatigue at the rate I, as GM, need them to. Anything else is too complicated for me to want to bother with.

Re: Should rest scale with size?
Excellent point.
It may also be worth asking: Under what circumstances would an NPC 14-hex Dragon need to recover from Fatigue? Are there parties of Adventurers who cause 14-hex Dragons to expend spells on them, yet somehow survive, then go hide somewhere so they (and the Dragon) can rest up before trying again? |

Re: Should rest scale with size?
My mind is awash with bizarre imagery. A prudish Dragon, who cannot abide those scaleless Human nudists…
…but no! I must not give form to the Idea. I understand now what Lovecraft meant, that some horrors are so great that mere knowledge of them risks insanity. |

Re: Should rest scale with size?
I have the starting point be proportional to an average ST 10 human. So a ST 100 creature recovers fatigue and injury 10 times as fast as a human, a ST 30 creature 3 times as fast, etc.
