[QUOTE="Tales and Chronicles, post: 7928685, member: 6871653"] The problem I had with short rests is their length: 1-hour in an active exploration mode is a lot of time and if all players are not in need of a short rest, it push the short-rest-based classes to argue to take one while the rest want to continue onward. So to avoid having to deal with OoC discussions about the pros and cons of taking a 1 hour short rest, I changed it to require only 5 minutes (but requires 1 use of healer's kit to spend HD) with a cap of 2 SR per long rest. So a player that feel he needs a SR to regain slots or health, he only need to ask for a short 5 minutes breaks, which most other players will allow. No need to have the whole party short-resting at the same time or going solo while the others rest. So: [B]Short rest [/B] - 5 minutes break, need 1 use of Healer's Kit to spend HD, max 2 times in a day. [B]Long rest[/B] [LIST] [*]6 hours, Interruption breaks it (no matter the length of said interruption), 1 per day. [*]Recover Con score + level HP and half total HD, can spend 1 use of Healer's kit to spend HD (no Healer's kit dependency if resting in a comfortable place). [*]Poisoned or diseased creatures must make a Con check against DC 15 to benefit from long rest. (check made at the end of the rest) [*]Sleeping in any armor requires a Con check against 10 to benefit from long rest. [*]Food and water spent at the start of the Long Rest. [*]Sleeping in environmental hazard requires a Con check against DC 13 to benefit from long rest. A tent and a nice fire gives advantage on the roll. [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
