I'm thinking of running a 5E game in Greyhawk but want to houserule Long Rests as follows:
A Long Rest is a period of extended downtime, at least 8 hours long, during which a character sleeps or performs light activity: reading, talking, eating, or standing watch for no more than 2 hours. If the rest is interrupted by a period of strenuous activity - at least 1 hour of walking, fighting, casting spells, or similar adventuring activity - the characters must rest for an additional hour per hour of strenuous activity.
At the end of a long rest, a character regains all spent Hit Dice and recovers 1 level of exhaustion. A character can’t benefit from more than one Long Rest in a 24-hour period.
If I use this rule, I'd also have Short Rests restore 1 level of exhaustion.
Thoughts?
