[QUOTE="GameDoc, post: 6407744, member: 53915"] FWIW, "2 short rests per day, with at least 8 hours between them" is redundant, assuming you take at least one long rest each 24 hours. Your long rest is 8 hours, leaving 16 other hours in the day. If there has to be at least 8 hours between short rests, that only leaves 2 possible before the next long rest comes up. Not criticizing the rule, just noting that it seems the DM [B][U][I]really[/I][/U][/B] wants to emphasize not taking too many short rests in a day. And that is his prerogative. As stated before, I think if the DM implements a house rule that significantly impedes the way a basic class or race works, he or she ought to offer something in return to balance it out. But that's just my view. Others are also valid. And as others have suggested, this particular house rule may not have to totally gimp the class in question. I understand the OP's concern, but would agree the hyperbole is not helping his case. At the same time his DM doesn't seem very open to discussing the issue or at least offering an honest "[I]mea culpa[/I]" for failing to make the house rule apparent from the get go so players could factor it in to their decisions. Courtesy would seem to dictated doing that before stating that he will nevertheless stand by his ruling. [/QUOTE]
