[QUOTE="Manbearcat, post: 6342993, member: 6696971"] That is one concern that I would have (and a major one). However, equally as concerning is the (presumably) intended consequence on play. Instead of just the Extended/Long Rest pressure as a (metagamey in a bad way) primary locus conflict, we double down on that and get even more focus on nonthematic, metagamey conflict where PCs are trying to squeak out Short Rests and/or turtling because of too much heat (due to lack of encounter resources refreshing). No thanks. I'd much rather just hand-wave 5 minute Short Rests, push back as hard as I can with their "encounter" resources refreshed, and focus play on actually interesting thematic conflict rather than a nonstop minigame where Fighters are trying to recoup their maneuver dice so they aren't boring or crappy. Having a daily conflict over a singular Extended Rest? Ok. Having the working day driven by possibly half a dozen of these conflicts? Not so much. [/QUOTE]
