You would have to throw a whole cow in order to at least lure to me to start considering to bite.
But anyway:
Tying dialogues to Short Rest is mechanicaly impossible ... i thought we are allready beyond that, since it was repeated at least dozen times. O_o
Amount of Short Rest was never an issue as far as i know ... you were coplaining that Long Rests are more effective and therefore there is no reason to use Short one ... that will remain unchanged even if you get 20 Short Rests per day. :-/
You control who heals and how much ... okey, that is good point ...
But how exactly is that better compared to curent system where everyone heals quite a lot? O_o
And you dont need to check another resource. O_o
Arcane recovery on Short Rest sounds like good idea ... but dont get mad, its the only good idea. :-/
Everything else seems to be easily achievable by simply giving 2 more Short Rests.
