[QUOTE="bert1001 fka bert1000, post: 8504537, member: 7029588"] So this is similar to O5e BM and others. So I'd say the issue is still there to some extent. Some mitigating factors for A5e mentioned in this thread though include: [LIST] [*]better encounter building so you can really challenge a party with lower expected encounters per day, say 2 or 3 encounters per day where a lack of any short rests may not be as big a deal [*]more martial class abilities are not at will, so they can sort of nova on 1 encounter a day situations (although not as well as casters) by spending all their short rest abilities at once. And arguably can take more risks in using all their exersion since they can get it back on a short rest if it [I]looked like[B] [/B]a 1 encounter day but turned out later to be a 2-3 encounter day[/I]. [*]in the situation where there are 4 or 5 or 8 encounters, more classes have incentive to short rest so perhaps if there is a least a party majority that wants to short rest this will ensure that there is at least 1 short rest in there even if it means making narrative sacrifices [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
