[QUOTE="Ebony Dragon, post: 6841036, member: 4899"] The only group I am playing with tends to be more story focused, and is also a large group (7 PCs). We tend to go 0-3 combats between long rests. I would say ~2 combats would be the most common number. Occasionally we get into big dungeon slogs that need more, but that is honestly the rare exception. Partly I think this may be because combat can slow down with so many players. Taking the time to run 8 combats in an evening would eat up all our time that session. No chance for any story progression or roleplaying to make it in. Also, slogging through multiple easy fights every game session gets old pretty fast. Fewer fights but against meaningful and potentially dangerous opponents is a lot more fun for everyone involved than wasting 2 hours of our time every game just beating up scrub to whittle away some resources from the party so that the later fights feel dangerous. Doing that occasionally as a change of pace can be exciting, but it really wouldn't work for us to play that way every game session. [/QUOTE]
