[QUOTE="Cybit, post: 6320160, member: 66111"] My apologies, I do not mean to indicate that is not the case; it is far more like 3E in that respect than 4E ever was. But how many classes gain a benefit from chain short resting? Don't see anything about the cleric getting his spells back in the character sheet. Let me state this another way; when was the last time fighter HP the limiting factor on how far the group can progress? Hell, what happens if you don't even have a fighter in the group? Usually the limiting factor of a group is the weakest link. So unless you have a group of only fighters, even if the fighter is fully rocking, someone else won't be. I think Mearls and co have espoused the former philosophy; after all, why bother with a living ruleset if everyone is just "doing it wrong"? But I do think they assume that they will not catch every rules-lawyer-y type of shenanigans (which, per the written definition of short rest being 1 hour or more, chaining short rests is absolutely rules lawyering) and at a certain point, aren't going to modify an ability people enjoyed using in combat to deal with a very small percentage of people who are charitably interpreting a rule to say the least. Honestly, people just need to hold on to their pants for a while and read the damn rules for themselves when they come out. :-p [/QUOTE]
