[QUOTE="Sadrik, post: 6408100, member: 14506"] When a new campaign starts and the DM has ideas on the tone and feel. I think it is within reason to adjust some of the house rules to better match that tone or feel. The DM appears to not have a strong idea on what the short rests do on a global level. It looks like he was only looking at it from the healing perspective. But still, the DM could easily step in and say to the player don't worry I see and understand how your character is weaker now and I have you covered. That is all I would say to a player. I would then leave it to story elements within the game to make that character shine with things. It would not be hard. Perhaps he discovers his patron is actually a dark lord and that his power is being limited by that dark lord. The characters adventure off to confront the dark lord. A magic item can be given that refreshes spells as short rest once per day. There are a myriad of options. I don't know if the DM had these things in mind but honestly the player should not get there as he is already very unhappy and could spoil the game for the other players who may be happy with the house rules and game thus far.
