Of course, if your party wants to be safe during a short rest, then some items are able to help out with that. Along with homebrewed items, there are two abilities that can help make short rests trivial. The first is the 3rd level spell Leomund’s Tiny Hut, which states: A 10-foot-radius immobile dome of force springs into existence around and above you and remains stationary for the duration. The spell ends if you leave its area. Nine creatures of Medium size or smaller can fit inside the dome with you. The spell fails if its area includes a larger creature or more than nine creatures. Creatures and objects within the dome when you cast this spell can move through it freely. All other creatures and objects are barred from passing through it. Spells and other magical effects can’t extend through the dome or be cast through it. The atmosphere inside the space is comfortable and dry, regardless of the weather outside. Until the spell ends, you can command the interior to become dimly lit or dark. The dome is opaque from the outside, of any color you choose, but it is transparent from the inside. Since nothing can get in or out without the permission of the caster, it’s the perfect place to take a short rest or even a long rest because it lasts for 8 hours. The spell ‘Rope Trick’ does the same thing, as with this spell: You touch a length of rope that is up to 60 feet long. One end of the rope then rises into the air until the whole rope hangs perpendicular to the ground. At the upper end of the rope, an invisible entrance opens to an extradimensional space that lasts until the spell ends. The extradimensional space can be reached by climbing to the top of the rope. The extradimensional space lasts for one hour, plenty of time for a short rest if you don’t mind some climbing!
