If he wants to get these spell slots back, he'll have to spend 1 AP. (Not per slot-- 1 AP refreshes all Restricted slots).YES: This is an AP "tax" on the wizard. No disagreement with you here.If the wizard wants to take advantage of the 10 minute rest, this is exactly the kind of thing he has to take into consideration when he's readying and casting spells. This is by design.To sum up his options:1) Do not take the short rest, keep your long lasting buffs, but don't get back any spell slots (nor any hit points, nor any thing else). You can stand around for 10 minutes and choose to "not rest."2) Take the short rest, get back all your Rote spell slots, but don't spend an AP to get back your Restricted spell slots. Any ongoing spells will end. You could recast them with some of the Rote spell slots you just refreshed.3) Rest, spend 1 AP, get back all your Rote and all your Restricted spell slots. You're down 1 AP.4) Convince everybody to rest for a full day-- you get back all your slots for 0 AP. (This is the status quo rest mechanic.) This is a tough row to hoe; players tend to like the faster pace. Though it's pretty easy to convince the party to give you that 1 AP from the Party Pool.Meaningful decisions.I should have said, "One wants to..." rather than "You." I meant it in counter-point to what you seemed to be suggesting.That's correct. You drew a perfect line.In the library of 3rd party spells, there are bound to be lots more like that.</blockquote>
