It would not happen at my table.PC Warlock: I cast Hex on my chicken.Me: Ok. Done. What's next?PC Warlock: I take a short rest to recover my spell slot.Other PCs: NO!!!!!! PC Warlock: Why? It is perfectly legal to do so...Other PCs: No. He'll roll on the random encounter table. You don't want that. Ever. No way. We go right now as it is supposed to be.PC Warlock: What is so bad about a random roll?Other PC: You don't want to know. You don't want to risk it unless absolutely necessary.Me: I simply smile and say: You're sure now you don't want to take a small ipsy tiny short little rest?Other PCs: No! We press on. If he wants to rests, may he die alone.In my game, any rest below the  four to six encounters per day means a random encounter roll. The more encounter you had, the less dangerous the encounters are. They all know it from the start. It is not an auto encounter but starting with a deadly encounter at the start of the day is not a good idea at my table. This is why the problem never occurs. As I said earlier, maintaining concentration on the spell does not requires it to have a target. Only the initial casting needs one.</blockquote>
