Pumpkin Candle

Pumpkin Candle

Ancient
Gain at the start of each turn. Extinguishes after 5 combats. Can be Kindled at Rest Sites.
  • Kindle counter: pickup sets it to 5, and while it is above 0 you have 1 extra Energy every turn.
  • Ticks down: each combat you finish takes 1 off.
  • Refill: at 0 the Energy stops, but every Rest Site offers a Kindle option that adds 5 more, and kindling stacks, so kindling at 3 leaves you with 8.
  • A Rest Site choice: it normally replaces Resting or Smithing.
