These rules are based of the Ruins of Symbaroum quickstart. I won’t detail those rules here to save from confusion. The quickstart is free on Drivethrurpg. I’ve adapted them somewhat to work with core D&D. These are rules for making spellcasting a short rest feature. They do not totally...

Maybe this is a real trend, or maybe I'm just imagining it. But I've had the impression that the designers have largely stopped designing short rests features. I first noticed this with the Samurai subclass where an ability clearly designed to work in conjuction with Action Surge was made 3...
