[QUOTE="FormerlyHemlock, post: 7067530, member: 6787650"] Both of them are turn-offs--the most interesting abilities are at-will or at-will but gated on circumstance or resources, e.g. Shield Master, Shadow Jump, Cunning Action, or even spellcasting. Stuff that you can do only 1/short rest or 3/long rest tends to invite the question, "Why?!?" However, if you're talking about converting existing powers like wildshape into 3/long rest, as a player I'd opt to leave them alone. 2/short rest wildshape basically means "as much wildshape as you want, within reason"--you can spend most of your time as an eagle if you want as long as you're comfortable taking a break every once in a while (resting while still in eagle form). 6/long rest wild shape would feel much more restrictive. Ditto monk ki--Shadow Monks get to basically keep Pass Without Trace up all the time if they want; that wouldn't be true if you convert them to (level * 3) ki per long rest--that just makes them poor druids with a low number of spell points.
