Message: <blockquote data-quote="Snarf Zagyg" data-source="post: 9092730" data-attributes="member: 7023840">On the off chance you didn't read my followup, this was explicitly dealt with in both the DMG and the DMG2, which stated that short rests were the defining line between encounters, and could be given (for example) when crossing the room to open a door. If you did not get a short rest, then it was not a new encounter.Again, a defining feature of 4e is that it was written in a certain way with a certain framework in mind; to the extent people chose to follow that framework, it worked incredibly well in framing the game in terms of discrete encounters- making it much more amenable to a more cinematic (there's another term for that) style of play.But since I've now spent multiple posts explaining this, and have quoted the relevant parts of the DMG* that even state this, and this seems to be ignored, I don't think further reiteration of this will do much good, will it? <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />*What, is the 4e DMG like the 5e DMG? I thought that wasn't supposed to be the case!</blockquote>
