[QUOTE="smbakeresq, post: 7409525, member: 28301"] Class balance is an issue as some classes need frequent rests to shine while others do not (except for HP recovery.) The old paradigm was when the spell casters ran out of spells you had to rest, otherwise it was how was the healing and HP doing. Now with abilities recharging on rests, players need to figure out who needs to nova this encounter so others can save their stuff for the following encounter. Unfortunately too many players are used to blowing their abilities and then getting to rest and recover with impunity. As a DM you need to see what your group is and then make it clear what the pace of play is. A group that had pushed through to exhaustion has played well, a group that stops every other encounter should just be harassed into the ground with random encounters or just something having the next encounter much tougher with the enemy reacting intelligently.
