[QUOTE="Dausuul, post: 6327097, member: 58197"] This right here is what I really don't like about the short rest rules. It's not that they don't work the way I want; it's that they're extremely ambiguous, as evidenced by the number of people with radically different takes on them. We should be arguing over whether the rules are good rules, not about what the rules [i]are[/i]. I also don't buy the argument that "This is a good thing because everyone can play how they like!" We could do that anyway. I was and am perfectly prepared to apply house rules if something really rubs me the wrong way. However, I don't want to have to write house rules just because the rulebook can't make up its mind. The whole point of a rulebook is to save me the trouble of making up all the rules myself. Fortunately, rules ambiguities can usually be resolved by consulting Michaelus Mearlsus, the Twittersage. Though I expect today he's taking a well-earned break. :) [/QUOTE]
