Problem with Danger Points

On tha page about danger points, it states two conditions in which all danger points are removed:

"When they are revived:

All Danger Points are removed.

They recover as if they had taken a short rest."

and

"

Removing Danger Points

All Danger Points are removed when the character gains a level."

Are both conditions correct?  I ask because in the read alouds to the rules it states:

"You only remove your Danger Points when you level up, so be careful."


Also, for spell points it states:

"After a long rest, casters recover all of their Spell Points."

But again in the read alouds something different/ambiguous:

"As a party, you can decide when to take a short rest, which means hiding out in safety for 10 minutes.

You heal half of your damage rounded up, and get back some of your spell points and class features.

You can do that twice per session.

A long rest takes a full 8 hours, and that’s when you heal everything."

How many spell points does one get back with a short rest?  Or is that not intended to be there?

Thx! Liking the simplifications.

Hi, sorry for the late reply...

Danger Points

Danger Points are a per-level stat.  So they all reset when you gain a level.

Also, when you reach 3 Danger Points, you become Incapacitated, etc.  and when you recover, your Danger Points are set back to zero.  Otherwise you would be in constant danger for the rest of the level.

The balance is set to the idea that some characters might reach zero HP almost every game session without having permanent consequences.  (You could make things feel more lethal by recovering only 1 Danger Point per level.)

Spell Point Recovery:

This is explained in Arcane Recovery under the class feature sheet:

Arcane Recovery 

(Short Rest) When you take a short rest, regain Spell Points equal to your Character Level.

After a long rest, regain all of your Spell Points.
