Ok, do you have exact number of your stregth score, dex score, con score, intelligence score* and your hp and ac? How they comapre to your squadmates? *- IQ tests do not count due to being unreliable.

I want to play with people who play the game, not exploit it. "We want to implement game-breaking exploit" "I will ask you not to because it will make game less fun for all, you and me alike". I had this conversation with my players when I banned shoving enemies into the bag of holding, said...

Because "We need to wait PRECISE NUMBER OF HOURS before taking rest for another PRECISE NUMBER OF HOURS" is the kind of knowledge that falls under "exact mechanics" and not "noticing the patterns".

Bad faith reading of the rule is not the rule. Besides, the DM is given permission by the rules to adjust and make rulings over any rule they deep necessary. I see one such case here and I make ruling to adjust. Simple. Also, saying no is not railroading.

Saying no to your players is not railroading. "No" is as much a tool in DM's arsenal, as is "yes", "yes and", "yes but", "no but" and "no and"

I am laughing in all the times I have seen Schwarzenegger, Stallone, Lee, Reeves or Willis mow down literal hundreds of enemies without a single scratch. As I have said, the time pressure is often unspoken and obvious to anyone who is not an idiot or deliberatelly refuses to treat the world as...

So you went around cherry picking replies to me but ignoring my responses and arguments, so you can pretend I got "totally owned". If you did not want to actually talk to me, you could just not.

The problem here is that it assumes that PCs are too dumb to know there is always time pressure. And you know what is one of those unspoken time pressures? Boredroom. You are playing an adventurer, which means you WANT to go on an adventure. If you wanted to chill in your home, you would not be...

That "roughly" does so much work carrying this sentence it is going to collapse. Any setting in which "roughly" aligned means the characters know exact mechanical exploit, down to number of hours, is held together by a ductape. then he also knows he is in good condition to keep going for a...

People do things in real life without needing to map video game mechanics to them, I see no reason why it should be different for in-universe rpg characters. You trying to strawman my argument increasingly makes it look like you cannot accept a story with any less 4th wall-breaking than Order of...

So in other words, the thing you have to do to stop this stupid "One fight, 32 hours of doing nothing to always perform optimally" is to say this interpretation of rules will not fly at your table? Good to know we spend 60 pages arguing over a self-imposed problem coming from poorly thought...

Sorry, but I still do not see the class levels, so you do not know if you are taking challenges appriopriate for your abilities; I do not see exact number of hit points, so you know how much risk of dying next fight is going to put you at and whenever you need to recover; I do not see which of...

Tell me exact number of hit points you have right now, as well as remaining number of spell slots, short and long-rest depended class features and your carrying capacity. You should be able to do that immediatelly, if you are aware of your body's capability at all times. And I explained why I...

"I am not yet tired and thus trying to rest will be wasted" is sufficient. And there is a sea and a mountain of difference between "chilling and waiting a bit" and "waiting 24 HOURS to take an 8 HOURS rest for total 32 HOURS of doing nothing". This is ridiciluous and if you cannot find me an...

Then they are NOT aware that they can benefit from long rest every 24 hours and thus will not think of waiting 24 hours to take another long rest. Because that is the exact minutia of the rules, that we're aware as players and it is for us players to take care of. Rest of your strawman is...

Then we have to disagree, I find the story trying to bend over backwards to explain mechanics of the game to be at best worth laughing at, at worst killing the storytelling for me. Wizards only using daggers does not require more explanation than common sense "they are easy toi conceal and...

It is to each player individually to explain how their character sees and understands spell-slots and regaining them, but it is assumed the characters do not see them as acutall spell slots, nor are they aware of a mechanics that says they can regain them after 8 hours.

If I wanted to play wargame or video game, I would play wargame or video game. People who treat ttrpgs like these need to learn they're wrong and correct their behavior or I doubt they will stay at my table for long.

"hurt, exhausted and missing some magic" - that's what short rest is for. And also NOT what you are after a single fight, as 5 minute Adventuring Day people claim is happenning. No. Unless you're playing Deadpool, you do not know hit points, ac, exact stat numbers of your character or exact...

Literally from Player's Handbook page 186 or you can look in the SRD: I do not know where you got the "real world time table", sicne I was still taking of tame in game. but the 5-minutes adventuring day is directly forbidden by the rules.
