Is attrition based play possible in Daggerheart? Of course. You have short rests and long rests. Long rests need to be taken at home and...

Really? I would say 5E reaches far above that. Assuming you put your highest stat as your primary, and increase that from time to...

The only real difference is mindset. The actual characters at the table may well be identical, mechanically - they'll just be played...
