[QUOTE="Helldritch, post: 7025228, member: 6855114"] A short rest does not need to be an hour long. Depending on what type of campaing it can be from 10 minutes to a full day. You do have to specify which type of rest you want. Short or long. Nothing in the rules says that a long rest includes a short rest. If you want a short rest, then you do a short rest whatever its length. If you want a long rest, then you go for the long shot. Not the short one. A 3 hour long rest will not enable you to get the short rest benefits unless you are ready to start the long rest anew. I would consider taking short rest advantage a cut/stop on the long rest and thus something to be avoided. If you do it your way, everyone will start long rest and will always be full HD at the end of the long rest. 7th hour. Everyone spend their healing HD. 8th hour. Everyone is full on healing HD... That is a lot of rule bending. But then again, this is your table. Your rules. [/QUOTE]
