It does not allow you to recover dailies or healing surges. It allows you to recover some cool stuff, but not top stuff to full.A long rest allows you to recover daily powers, recover all hp, and recover all healing surges. It does more than a short rest gives you.I expect John McClaine Bruce Willis to spend some time between his multiple fight scenes catching his breath and picking glass out of his feet. This is what I narratively expect of a short rest. I do not expect this to take an hour before getting back up and hunting down bad guys again in the same building.</blockquote>
