What is short rest spell slots?

Short rest spell slots are a type of resource used by spellcasting characters in Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition. They are distinct from long rest spell slots and are regained after a short rest of one hour or more.

Short rest spell slots are used to cast spells of lower levels and are typically given to certain classes such as warlocks and some subclasses of wizards and sorcerers. They allow spellcasters to conserve their more powerful spell slots for more significant encounters while still being able to use less powerful spells throughout the day.

The number of short rest spell slots a character has is determined by their class and level, with characters gaining more slots as they level up. Short rest spell slots are a valuable resource in D&D and should be used strategically to conserve resources while ensuring that characters have enough spells at their disposal to tackle encounters.
