It's also rather more major than a couple of weapon proficiencies, imho. Personally I think it makes sense to just give a Dragonborn Dragonblooded Sorcerer an extra language and allow him to use the 6th level Sorcerer ability on a different element (rather getting into fiddly "how many resistances!?" stuff as the OP suggests).Indeed. I think this is kind of illustrative of the problem of short-rest-balanced classes in general, when the short rest is 1hr - it's such an extremely long time (I mean, it only even makes sense to call it "short" in purely relative terms) in a remotely risky situation.Personally I kind of feel like 5E's Cleric is turning out to be, perhaps, rather overpowered. It's a better party-buffer than a Bard, a better healer than everyone, a combat-oriented Cleric is a much better fighter than a Valour Bard, they have access to a ton of really good spells, full casting, good AC, decent weapons etc. - We won't see 3E's CoDzilla due to Conc. restrictions but they almost seem to be from a different game to most of the classes, to me.So perhaps that's the problem with comparing them to Cleric.EDIT - Scooped by  [MENTION=2446]DonAdam[/MENTION] - Clerics are indeed very strong!I do think that in any game where Short Rests are revised to a shorter figure (which apparently will be a suggestion in the DMG), Warlocks, Battlemaster Fighters and others are going to be a lot more competitive than otherwise.</blockquote>
