Talks about 'spellcasters' recovering long-rest slots faster in the Epic variant (SR 5 mins, LR 1 hr), suggests limiting this. There is NO real discussion of game design short rest vs long rest class balance here, just as there is none anywhere else in any of the books I can find. Frankly I am flabbergasted, there have been countless hundreds of posts here on ENW concerning 5e game design being based around short vs long rest class balance, but judging by your responses there is zero actual discussion of this in either the PHB or DMG.  BTW re Concentration & Resting - I have house rules that (a) short rest is only 15 minutes (b) Druids come out of Wildshape at the end of a Short Rest and (c) You can only take the benefit of a short rest 3/day. This is working very well but I think allowing Concentration while resting would screw it up, so I'll not allow that. I want Short Rest to be as far as possible a Reset button, like in 4e.</blockquote>
