[QUOTE="Henry, post: 6341632, member: 158"] People don't talk about it much, but 1st Edition assumed that all encounters took 1 turn of time, it being assumed that even if the combat wasn't 10 rounds long, the remaining time was spent straightening up equipment, binding wounds, and sorting loot. (It was mentioned in the DMG combat chapter, somewhere around the "party A / Party B" example). Most of the time I mentioned it, it was argued down with "it's not relevant, because spells or abilities didn't reset with a fight" , but the fact that 4e had a 5 minute rest was one piece that did remind me of AD&D. EDIT: After this I went searching, and didn't find quite the quote I remembered, but I did find in the DMG on page 38 where Gary says that the party should be required to rest 1 turn in 6 (in other words, 10 minutes each hour) and required to rest for 1 turn after each combat or strenuous activity. I could swear I remember a more wordy version later on, though. Darn not having a 1e DMG PDF! [/QUOTE]
