If you can't get your rests in, though, you will feel (and be) outclassed, particularly since everyone else at the table is playing a "long rest" class.If you notice you're coming up short on rests (heh), it might be worth talking to the DM about it. I will take the opportunity to plug my favorite house rule here: Short rests are 5 minutes, but you're only allowed 2 per day. It does wonders to keep monks and warlocks on the same footing as other PCs, without requiring the DM to change how they design adventures.</blockquote>
