[QUOTE="MaximusArael020, post: 7544271, member: 6923864"] You are ignoring the "up to" as well, though. "Up to" [I]includes[/I] 60 feet. According to the PHB, while climbing (or swimming) each foot traveled costs two feet of movement. That means that, within the spells description, if the rope is 60 ft long, which it can be, then it would take a creature with 30 ft of movement two rounds to scale the rope, even without a skill check (15 ft movement, 15 ft dash action). So that is at least 12 seconds of time off of the specific length of the spell of 1 hour. That means that they would get to the safe space with 59 minutes and 48 seconds to rest. Again, according to the PHB, a short rest is [I]at least[/I] 1 hour. 59 minutes and 48 seconds is [I]not[/I] equal to 1 hour, so according to the rules as written, it would not be useable for a short rest unless the character could become immediately inside the safe space. I have no problem ruling that the space inside of rope trick spell can be used as a short rest. Maybe that extra dimension has slightly different rules for time. However you cannot claim that by the [I]rules as written[/I] that rope trick is designed for a short rest because everything about it [I]denies[/I] a short rest by the nature of the spell. [/QUOTE]
