[QUOTE="Hussar, post: 9061123, member: 22779"] Well, I'm working from the presumption that short rest/2 step recovery is here to stay. I don't believe that they will be changing that any time soon. So, it's not really an issue for me. The whole "Swat Team raid" idea is a very corner case scenario for D&D. It's pretty rare that you'd have a running battle with zero breaks that clears out an entire stronghold. Additionally, your SWAT team isn't 5 guys. It's a lot more than 5. But, D&D doesn't do that either. So the comparison is a bit suspect. OTOH, I don't particularly disagree with your point. The counter point though is that you are adding a lot of tracking into the group. Each player now has to track if they've used that short rest recharge or not, throughout that adventering day, that, in real time, might be spread across a couple of weeks of play. How many Action Surges have I used? Did I recharge it last session? Oh, crap, I forgot to write it down... or did I? And, jeez, we didn't play last week because Dave and Julie were on holiday, so, it's been two weeks ... ah man... The current two step, all or nothing, system does have simplicity going for it.
