[QUOTE="Libramarian, post: 6837872, member: 6688858"] It doesn't actually say in the DMG that most adventures should have 6-8 fights per long rest. It says that a party can typically get through that many medium-hard encounters before they [B]need[/B] to rest. If this is accurate, it would be cutting it pretty close to the bone to have most "adventuring days" actually be this long. I don't create gauntlets like that where the party can't rest until they get through 6-8 fights, but apparently @[I][B][U][URL="http://www.enworld.org/forum/member.php?u=6788736"]Flamestrike[/URL][/U][/B][/I] does and has found that this is a tough challenge for even optimized PCs. I do think the "gritty realism" rest variant is a must for wilderness adventures. It's unfortunate that the description for this option completely misses the point. It's not about "putting the breaks on the campaign". The point is to not give the PCs automatic rests when game time passes much more quickly than real-world time. [/QUOTE]
