[QUOTE="Cap'n Kobold, post: 8084820, member: 6802951"] It is meant to be an average, not a set structure. For every 24 hour day where there are no short rests, there should be days where you might have 12+ encounters and lots of short rests, likely more open-world, or where the party isn't in a patrolled area. That is an issue with your DM and other players. If there was a Fighter, or Monk, or other short-rest-based class in the group, they would also be discriminated against. It is what the classes appear to be balanced around, for better or worse. Not just the Warlock: Fighters and Monks are balanced against Paladins on that same basis for example. Reducing short rests boosts the Paladins and undermines the Fighter and Monk's capabilities in the same way. As a good rule of thumb, even the full casters should be reduced to their at-will attacks maybe a third of the time. Here is also where the Warlock can catch up: their at-wills are better than the cantrips or melee of the other full casters. [/QUOTE]
