[QUOTE="AaronOfBarbaria, post: 6715085, member: 6701872"] That's not as true as it is often made out to be, since classes that rely more on short rests have a comparable amount of resources with a comparable amount of effect on the game to the amount of resources that a more long rest reliant character can actually find opportunity to use during a single encounter. For example, a 10th-level Warlock spending 2 5th-level spell slots in one encounter and using a suped-up cantrip or invocation is much more comparable to a 10th-level Wizard spending 2 5th-level spell slots and a 4th-level spell slot, since they each only managed 3 turns in that one encounter - and both regain all the resources spent upon the next rest since there was only 1 encounter that day. People often slip into impractical scenarios while comparing classes like this, and reach mistaken conclusions about how big of a difference there is on a 1 encounter day vs. how big of a difference there is on a 6-8 encounter and 2 short rests day.
