[QUOTE="I'm A Banana, post: 9060481, member: 2067"] This is functionally reducing it to "it's a handwave unless the DM is feeling spicy." Ignorable, so most tables are going to ignore it. Like a rule about ammo that says "you run out of arrows if you don't visit a town for 10 days." It gives me 4e feat vibes - weak enough to forget about most of the time. So why are we afraid of yeeting it entirely? 10-20 minutes is not much of an interesting choice in most circumstances. We don't need to make someone spend the mental effort on deciding and declaring it. Going long-rest-only is a valid and useful choice. And if the reason we're afraid of yeeting it entirely is because we don't want to get rid of the interesting choice about taking a short rest or not, let's make that choice [I]more interesting[/I]. Reducing its length makes it less interesting. And maybe that's OK! But if it's OK, let's own that! [/QUOTE]
