I understood you and I don't entirely agree. It CAN do that, but more often low physical resources just made the group go back to town to rest and restock, not push forward. It didn't cure the problem and only happened after several 5 minute work days. It also stopped once the party got continual light and create food and water. Clerics were great for that. I bet there are more permanently glowing copper pieces spread around the game worlds than any other single object.Ahh, I see where we're going wrong here. I'm specifically talking about limited physical resources like torches and food. not per day abilities. I should have been clearer about that. Physical resources very much establish time sensitivity, which is why they mitigate the 5MWD, most especially at low and mid tier. Obviously this doesn't help if there are abilities that obviate those resources, like the spell Goodberry example, which completely obviates the need to carry rations for most groups. A hand-wavey approach to Darkvision is also a killer here.
