At level 1 I was playing a druid standing 5 miles away from everything and using a bow, but the frontliners kept getting dumpstered and then we had a critical issue of needing to rest because we'd used all the healing spells. I was the only healer in the party - which sucked, because I didn't want to be a healbot - I think one of the guys was a paladin but he died to something amazingly dumb in session 1 I think. The result was after several of the fights e.g. the challenge vs whatever that half dragon dude was, we literally couldn't continue without a long rest because multiple dudes were on 1 HP with no way of healing at all. This then set up precisely the mechanic I'm talking about because the wizard gets the benefit of long rests and has a ton of spells. Sleep owns. It kept happening though, we get trashed (despite me eating like 80 points of damage in one encounter, moon druid supremacy 4 lyfe) if the wizard didn't have sleep, which meant we'd be seriously short on healing which created a desire to long rest again. Which made the wizard better, because he's getting more spells. The caravan section had the same problem as you point out because you can rest a lot. A bunch of the players were new to 5E (I was literally the only guy who'd played 5E before) and the wizard was a 2nd ed veteran (Which was why he'd taken sleep) and everyone else was newYeah, its very not great.</blockquote>
