NOTHING in the rules indicates that some party members can forgo a short rest while others take it. There could be circumstances where a DM might rule that a given PC can't benefit from a short rest, but I'd think that would be very unusual and not something the players can just choose to do. There is certainly no support in the rules for it and I expect that is partly due to exactly this kind of issue.Also I really don't see anything wrong with 'bag 'o rats'. Why would you frown on it in this situation? If players want access to various non-combat spell abilities there are rituals and utility powers (as well as any number of attack powers that don't require a hit) they can choose from. Or they can acquire items which give them extra capabilities. I'm all for having ways to do that sort of thing, but its not really necessary to make accessing the effect line of every power possible in arbitrary situations.</blockquote>
