What good is short rest at all? Just cut it from the game if you don't limit long rest at all.
Why short rest when you can:
1. literally long rest after every fight and regain ALL your special abilities, health, spell slots, etc. instead of only some health and no spell slots.
2. You get more opportunities to have companion dialogue with long rest.
3. There is nothing stopping you from long rest. NOTHING. No time limits, no penalties, random encounters, NOTHING.
4. Switch companions at camp during long rests.
5. Store stuff at camp during long rests.
So tell me, what benefit is there at all in short resting? Seriously. In current state, what is the point?
The only reason short rest exists in BG3 is because it is a 5e rule. There is literally no other benefit.
So either give short rest meaning or cut it completely from the game. That's what I say.
