[QUOTE="DEFCON 1, post: 9006874, member: 7006"] Does nobody use the variant rules that say the DM can make Short and Long Rests to whatever length they want? If you want Short Rests to be 5 minutes... you all decide to make Short Rest be 5 minutes. You don't need it to be written in the Player's Handbook that it's 5 minutes if you can just use the variant rule in the DMG. I mean this was the whole point of calling them Short Rests and Long Rests in the first place rather than a set timeframe. So that every DM could decide how long they wanted their lengths to be. Now if you tell me that you have a preferred length of time for Rests but that your DM and/or fellow players don't agree with you... that's absolutely not a valid reason for expecting WotC to change their rules just so you can get your way with your group. You want to play with that group of yours... sometimes you'll have to make a sacrifice or two. But that's true of every single facet of the game. [/QUOTE]
