Personally, I kinda wish the system instead just had long and short durations, and every long you trigger longs and every short shorts, and move on. But, D&D tries really hard to pretend it can be realistic, and that magic is totally unscientific but also follows stop watches <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />I think you're still missing the point, with this statement. Cause you could also just as easily have said "The down side is that warlocks will be INCREDIBLY unpopular since they only get 1 to 2 spell slots per day!"Same number of slots per rest. Same everything. Yep, you'd either want to count it as tougher or make everything that triggers per long time trigger per (new) long time. Doesn't make sense at all. Very few things are impacted by this change. Not every creature is a mummy.Many classes already have mechanics to get resources back per short rest; applying more of them only starts to miss the point. What could make sense is instead that classes be able to adjust their prepared / memorized spells, to account for new situations, potentially. There's some argument to be made there. (Also some argument to be made for during normal short rests too)Ie, it's reasonable to let someone adjust their spells prepared to deal with (curse, poison, disease, restorable things) over the course of time. It's also reasonable not to, since "spells known" folks have to cope without that freedom and not like there's really any recompense for that <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />Possibly make that longer than a couple hours, but sure.That's a ton of potential resources. Especially when you consider things like Life Channel Div. Why is it so necessary to make the game so much easier? It's already pretty darn easy (except for 1st level, randomly).Absolutely agree. I'm surprised you didn't make an argument for, say, one hit die per short rest.</blockquote>
