[QUOTE="Chaltab, post: 6320210, member: 6775806"] I'm STILL just baffled as to where DDNfan has a problem. I've been DMing 4E game for two years. My party 'takes multiple short rests' all the time and it's never caused any problems. Even resting after a fight, healing with a cleric's help, and then resting again so that the cleric's encounter healing powers are back... it doesn't break the game because still requires the expenditure of a finite resource (Surges in 4E, Hit Dice in Next) and thus contributes to overall party attrition. This is even less doable in DDN because 1) characters have fewer hit dice than they did surges in 4E, and 2) default short rests are an hour, meaning taking two in a row isn't really possible if the Bad Guy is about to unleash the demon horde at the stroke of midnight and it's 10:52PM. I mean I guess your players could still do that, but then by all means, they have to fight the demon horde as well as the bad guy. [/QUOTE]
