D&D (2024) They butchered the warlock in the new packet

[Charlaquin]

Do rogues have anything at all on a short rest?

I don’t think so. Not in the base class, at least, though there may be something in a subclass somewhere. Rogues’ resource management is generally action-economy-based rather than rest-based.

I... don't want nappy-byes to determine if I can keep adventuring.

you mean long rests? I am all for not having short rests decide that by only having them regain HP and nothing else…

 

[mamba]

But having some classes on short and others on long just doesn't work too well.

agreed, I am in favor of getting rid of per short rest entirely

 

[mamba]

Long rest is also a pacing mechanic, pal.

I am aware, the more granular that mechanic is, the worse it is. You need some kind of pacing / rests however, and per day to me is much more natural than per encounter and therefore being able to have 20 encounters in a day without breaking a sweat if everything were on a per encounter basis

Per long rest is simpler, more flexible (on a encounter basis), more natural / less game-y, makes for actual decisions, just all around better to me.

 

[HammerMan]

What exactly stops you from doing so?

The same thing that made people fall in line with 3.5 haste and 3.5 ranger over 3e haste and 3e ranger

Then later the prestige classes as they were tweeted and rereleased in complete books

Going to sleep to get your abilities back.

Which got the idea from D&D.

Exactly my point.

All the "gamey" stuff is from D&D.
