[QUOTE="Oofta, post: 8535922, member: 6801845"] That's why I mix things up. Throw in monsters that are [I]immune [/I]to fire now and then. Have fights start in the forest or in town. Change the NPC's spells so they have counterspell. Also remember that most castles have quite a bit of flammable materials - many castles had sections separated by wooden walls or two floors instead of one with very tall ceilings. Tapestries everywhere, furniture and so on. Take a look at this room [ATTACH type="full"]151263[/ATTACH] Table, chairs, draperies, wooden ceiling which is either decorative or there's a second floor above, tapestries on the far wall. Don't forget that castles were people's homes, it wasn't just stone walls everywhere. Personally I use the alternate rest rules, a short rest is overnight and a long rest is a week or more. It really helps balance things out, although I do have a house rule that any spell that lasts for half an hour or more gets their duration multiplied by 5. I know other people just say that they don't allow long rests unless you're someplace safe. I want the wizard to be able to cast fireballs if they want, but a one trick pony is going to run into issues in my campaign now and then. [/QUOTE]
