[QUOTE="Tony Vargas, post: 7837626, member: 996"] It's much older than that. Used to 15min though. 🤷 Unions. 🤷 Back in the day it was a notorious expression for running the eff outta hps and needing to "go back to town" (what I'd always heard it called) to 'rest' so the Cleric could get his 3 Cure Light Wounds spells back, even though you'd only been in the dungeon a short (but obviously, eventful) time. "We need to rest, we're outta spells!" "but, we finished breakfast like 15 minutes ago?" It tended to go away as you levels progressed. ;) As an aside: sometimes when I read "...never had a problem with..." I have to wonder if they mean "this problem never happened" or "it happened all the time and we liked it!" ;) (Of course, everyone's 'back in the day' was different, because we weren't all comparing notes on the internet every few minutes - and, really, everyone's experiences are different now, too, we just notice, sometimes, that certain sorts of experiences tend to get aired a lot...) In 3e it became SoP, along with Scry/Buff/Teleport and Polymorphs shenanigans, because that was just the 3.x zeitgeist, I don't pretend to understand it.... (...similar internet groupthink provisos apply) It really, /really/ depends on your DM. If you can squeeze in an hour, you may well be able to squeeze in 8. But, there is a /hard/ limit on long rests in a 24 hr period. So it becomes a matter of lollygagging around. ;P That also depends on level. Zard had this idea that the wizard was 'better' at 13th-15, for some reason. The 5MWD is the classic OP-wizard scenario. At high level, though, it'd be a rare encounter that'd let them throw out all their best stuff, though, so maybe a multi-encounter, no-short rest day? I wouldn't assume equal treatment among D&D classes. OK then, I must've missed that bit. Two very different statements. I can see how the social pillar claim ties into this thread. Is it all along that line: INT sucks so hard the Warlock beats the Wiz? Does the Bard, too, then? [/QUOTE]
