D&D 5E Truly Understanding the Martials & Casters discussion (+)

Just carry a bag of ball bearings. Helps if your DM (i.e. me) let's you dump the ball bearings as your object interaction.

At that time that rate could also just dump out some copper from your coin purse. Your somatic component is flipping out your pockets.

No one uses copper anyway.

Fair enough. Since I can't say I've ever actually seen this 'normal' adventuring day happen at a table in play, my judgement may be skewed.

I've never seen it happen at normal rest speed. The only times I've seen it are with some variation of it takes about a week for a long rest to happen. That way the DM can have one encounter on day 1, none on day 2, two on day 3, none on days 4 and 5, three on day 6, and one on day 7. Insert long rest then. The PCs have to sleep every night, but the long rest only happens around the 7th day.

Yeah that seems a more reasonable pace. You know I've had multiple DMs express commitment to running a "gritty realistic" game, and the only rest variant I ever saw was to make short rests more difficult.. and it didn't even matter since we weren't getting multiple short rests anyway. Table variation is something else.

Well, as you know, due to the cost of copper, minting copper pieces exceeds the value of the metal, so many kingdoms are phasing out the minting of copper coins…

It should be silver coins in case to help with resistances anyway.

Sounds like an elven conspiracy to devalue dwarven mining interests..next thing you know we'll be using wooden ("sylvan") nickels.

It gives a whole new meaning to the phrase investment growth.

Witness the rise of "hedge" funds.

It really DOES grow on trees.

Once again with the false premises and hyperboles. It's an indisputable fact that hedges are SHRUBBERY not trees. Get your facts straight!
