[QUOTE="tetrasodium, post: 9114346, member: 93670"] It's impossible for short rests to be any easier. [LIST] [*]No bar needs to be met to begin a long or short rest [*]There is no penalty for an interrupted long or short rest [*]An interrupted rest that lasted at least one hour is a successful short rest. [*]There is no limit to the number of times you can attempt to be r succeed at a short rest in a 24hr period other than the fact that there are 86400 seconds in those 24hours and one hour is 60 minutes each being 60 seconds long [*]No resources are consumed by a short rest [*]The time needed is so low that even a doom clock doesn't really start impacting them until the doom clock becomes so strict that it quickly stops being plausible after the first couple times that style doom clock gets used. [/LIST] Short rests don't become hard until the gm changes rules to correct for bad design and overcompensates or they just use fiat to shut them down. You should be clear in what you are asking to be done and the reasons why rather than calling for the impossible while pointing at some situation that is unrelated to how easy or "hard" it is to take a short rest and calling for easier rests instead of something relevant to the situation.
