Like... if you only ever get 0-3 encounters per day, why not simply use the Gritty rest variant?In my games I deal with the jarring 1 hour breaks of short rests, by making them a few minutes long (quick breather, sip of water, map check and off you go) but limited to no more than 2 per long rest.Effectively a variant of the Heroic rest variant which shortens them to 5 minutes.Is there any reason why you need to ignore the DMG here?</blockquote>
