I just rest at camp more than I do short rests which "fixes" the issue for me.
Spoke of this before but... character stubs his toe and loses 1HP? Rest at camp. Uses random spell by accident? Rest at camp. I think I rested at camp 8+ times before I arrived at the grove. 9 if you count after the gate fight.
This is especially so when I did a playthrough using the tadpole since its once per full rest? So I just rested at camp after each use of that. Im suspecting this mechanic of once per rest with tadpole is to encourage people to do full rests but considering I didn't even use tadpole powers my first go around dunno. I wonder how the full game will react to that bit proper.
