As the spell is cast the shimmering form of an ancient gold dragon covers the entire area of the spell. This form spreads its wings in a protective manner, as a mother hen gathering its chicks. As the form slowly fades, each recipient of the Dragon's Respite is granted limited benefits of a short rest.
Each selected target within range can choose a number of benefits up to the level of the casting. These benefits are the same benefits that the character would normally receive during a short rest. For example; when taking a short rest, a 5th level Bard regains all expended uses of Bardic Inspiration, as well as regaining lost hit points by expending a number of hit dice. Under the effects of Dragon's Respite, cast at fourth level, said Bard could regain up to 4 Bardic Inspirations, or up to 4 hit dice of health, or any combination thereof (2 and 2, 1 and 3, etc...). One benefit for each level of the casting.
Recipients can add their CON modifier to hit points healed for each hit die expended (the same as taking a short rest). Expended hit dice used during this spell are used and cannot be used again until after a long rest.
