I also opened Pandora's box with "rest and survivability". I just sortof latched onto that "consistency" bit. To me, the all-or-nothing nature of most full casters (one big attack, expended reactions, etc..) knocks them down a peg when it comes to consistency on the long adventure day. But, my playgroup has adjusted to frenetic pacing without many towns or shops available, they are well-aware that I push a chapter until expendables start running low.. so there are some unique builds in that setting, and I often get to see the results of consistency under thin resources. The "stank" ranger is usually doing well. But, the martial made the "suboptimal" choice of polearm mastery, 🛡 mastery, then great weapon master. Dueling and protection fighting styles. It seems like some nonbo choices but it makes for a very multimodal fighter that will start on defensive mode while having +2 1 hand dmg and bonus attack, if enemies get rounded up or a boss makes high AC negligible, he will drop the 🛡 and go ham with a halbard and cleave + bonus attacks with HWM damage output. He often will do this locknstep with his paladin brother who also has the protection style... so disadvantage is incredibly common against both. It really is neat to see, there are very few encounters where those 2 are worried about their HP. They are more worried about keeping the support alive.</p></blockquote><p></p>
