I figured it would be easier because I only really had to worry about 3 classes instead of 9. The results of that experiment were me learning that It doesn't really work that great (Increases the tendency of my Party to Nova the crap out of enemies. Also I had two monks so any boss got stun locked to death.) While I doubt turning long rest abilties into short rest ones will have the same issues I do suspect it will unbalance the game and make it less fun.I think a simpler solution to the problem is to mess with the rest mechanics rather then trying to change a bunch of classes. I've been trying 13th age and am one hundred percent stealing the idea of "you get a long rest after about 6-8 encounters not whenever you sleep." In addition give each person only 2 long rests per short rests and it's done.</blockquote>
