[QUOTE="Hussar, post: 9061086, member: 22779"] But, there's no real dissonance here. Unless the area is so densely populated that giant monsters are passing by on an hourly basis, most of the time, it's not unreasonable to find somewhere to hunker down. It really isn't. Even if you are rolling random encounters, it's not that big of a risk and there's all sorts of ways to mitigate it from mundane (we found that room behind a secret door that no one's been inside for hundreds of years, let's hunker down there) to magical (out comes the various spells and whatnot to make camp for an hour). If you can sit down and rest for 20 minutes, you probably can rest for an hour. It's not like there's this huge time difference. Or, in a situation where it's so busy in the area that you cannot rest for an hour, you probably can't rest for 20 minutes either. I guess I'm just not really feeling the dissonance here. Long rests? Sure, I can see that being a bigger issue. I get that. There's lots of times you can't rest for 8 hours. That's long. It's reasonable that something might wander by you once a day. But, is it really reasonable that that thing is going to wander past you every hour? [/QUOTE]
