Hi folks,
The issue of how to deal with a fighter's second wind and multiple short rests is being discussed here (http://www.enworld.org/forum/showthread.php?435261-Second-Wind-Regeneration). I'd argue this is just part of the "how often can we short rest?". There are, after all, a lot of power that recharge on a short rest and might be useful out of combat. This includes a warlock's spells (perhaps especially a multi-class warlock that can cast healing spells) and a number of cleric abilities and even a few monk ki powers that have out-of-combat application.
I think I'm leaning toward "max of 3 short rests per long rest" as a solution here. Or maybe going with an optional rule from the DMG where a short rest is a night's sleep and a long rest is a few days of rest in a row.
But I'm curious if others have encountered this problem (I haven't yet--game I'm running starts in a few weeks I think) at all. And what people think should be done to address it.
Thanks.
