If you rest inside your coffin for 10 minutes, you regain Hit Points equal to your Constitution modifier × half your level. You can still be healed in other ways during that time, though you’re unconscious and therefore unable to heal yourself. The GM might allow you to Refocus while resting, depending on whether it’s a type of Refocusing you can achieve while you slumber.

If you would be destroyed, you instead remain near death. This doesn’t change your dying or wounded value, and you remain unconscious. After 1 hour, you’re destroyed. If returned to your coffin before that hour is up, you avoid destruction; if you spend 1 hour resting in your coffin, you regain 1 HP and lose the dying and wounded conditions. You can’t be healed in any other way when near death.

Your coffin can’t heal you if you’re staked through the chest. You can be staked only if unconscious, and it takes three actions.
