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

[Charlaquin]

Um, change one class or four...

If changing four makes the game more engaging, then four. No question.

What if Patron Spell was 1/short rest?

Also, can we have Dark Ones blessing happen when your Hex target dies?

 

[Charlaquin]

as I said, everyone on either schedule is better than a mixed schedule,

Nah

I just prefer the long rest schedule because it does not arbitrarily pace my resource use

It 100% arbitrarily paces your resource use. It’s just a longer arbitrary pace.

 

[Incenjucar]

you need to evaluate the same when everything is on a long rest

A long rest allows you to practically respec. A short rest forces you to cobble together partial resources.

 

[Vaalingrade]

You want 5e to stop being 5e?

It'd be a start. Revert to D&D Next.

 

[Charlaquin]

you need to evaluate the same when everything is on a long rest

You need to evaluate everything the same instead of dynamically evaluating things based on their relative value and recovery speed.

I agree in theory, I disagree about the impact

Agreed. The longer the schedule, the more flexibility in between, the better. The more granular, the worse.

so does not resting and making do with the resources you chose to not yet spend

yes, recovery speed gets dropped from the equation, freeing you up to more freely allocate your resources throughout the day. Short rests just add restrictions, nothing more.
