Its quite rare in my games where the party has 1 hours of safe rest but wouldnt be able to take a long rest. The only I see it is in time sensitive situations, but again this is DM dependent, which I dont like all that much. I prefer the players manage their power expenditure/recovery by themselves. Again, if all A5E can do is reprint the PHB and add the variant features from the DMG in the sidebar, why buy it? I already have those books! Its supposed to be a stand alone, advanced take on 5e, not a book of options and variants for 5e like WotC will likely publish this fall. That would includes modifying the base assumptions when necessary. I think, from what Morrus said, that the idea of ''compatibility'' is more abut being able to use the PHB classes in an A5E game and the same mechanic will be there, even if modified. Lets say a PHB fighters enter a A5E game. He will still be able to recover its Action Surge on a short rest, even if in the A5E the short rest takes a day or 5 minutes. If a barbarian has advantage on STR checks, he would still be able to benefit from it, even if Advantages stacks or are now a flat +5.</blockquote>
