[QUOTE="Ancalagon, post: 6835302, member: 23"] Hello So as I explore the (new to me) 5e rules and read about it here, I see several reference to the "6-8 encounters per adventuring day". Because of the short vs long rest powers economy, the number of encounters per day becomes quite important, as they allow the "short-rest powered" classes to shine. But how many people do this actually? I've gamed (both as a PC and a GM) in a number of groups and a number of systems in my 25 year gaming "career" and in almost every group that high number of encounters was the exception, not the rule. Most of us found it more fun to have less fights, but have the fights matter more - big exciting battles, not a series of ho-hum scraps with goblins and brigands. (It is possible to have exciting battles with goblins or brigands mind you). So is it just me, or are other people also tossing this guidance to the side? [/QUOTE]
