Also, short rests are pretty easy to work into non-combat. A short rest isn't setting up a bivouac or anything.
Just want to note that it is equally easy for a DM to just not allow short rest abuse. If a character design breaks when players abuse a separate mechanic, maybe stop the abuse instead of constraining character design.
I actually thought these were pretty cool. Over the moon that we didn't get another monk caster with a pool of 4 spells which bleed off base class resources. I think the thread has called out some legitimate issues, but thematically/game-feel-wise I'd be excited to play any of these.

How do you abuse Short rests, when you can only take them an hour at a time? It's like saying if you have several slots, you abuse them by casting too many spells.

One of my more negative survey reviews. Too much stuff that's not really functional.
