[QUOTE="Arial Black, post: 6958521, member: 6799649"] Although your model is internally consistent, it is not consistent with the RAW. There is no rule that says you must eat, drink, read, and/or bind wounds during a short rest, and no rule that says if you don't actually perform these tasks you don't get the benefit of a short rest. Meanwhile, there [B]is[/B] a rule, quoted above, which states that if you do nothing more strenuous than those tasks then you gain the benefit of a short rest. Furthermore, there is no suggestion that periods of 1 hour where you do nothing strenuous fail to count as short rests. The rules are what they say they are. It says that, '[COLOR=#000000]A short rest is a period of downtime, at least 1 hour long, during which a character [/COLOR][B][I]does nothing [B]more[/B] strenuous[/I] than eating, drinking, reading, and tending to wounds'. Therefore, if I have done nothing strenuous for the last hour, then I've just had a period of downtime that qualifies as a short rest. There is no suggestion that anything else is required, nor that some such periods of downtime fail to qualify as short rests. (apologies for the bold type; I'm not sure what happened.
