[QUOTE="Rechan, post: 3958369, member: 54846"] Thank you for providing that. Now, why is it that the above isn't confusing to you, and yet the notion of resting between encounters to get per-encounter abilities does? Hey, D&D is hard, all those rules to learn. Some gaming groups aren't perfect. DMs have to make decisions all the time. It is Impossible for the rules to cover every situation. The rules are not set in stone, they are guidelines. And if a DM can't make his own decisions, I'd say perhaps he shouldn't be DMing. There is no rule that says a character other than a spellcaster has to sleep. There is no rule that says [i]anyone[/i] has to eat or drink. Do you think that the rules should say, "You must sleep, drink or eat every day"? Because unless the rules state it, then players might run roughshod over Dms and vice-versa. If you have no trouble with strict per-round spell durations, per-feet distances, and per-day spell-slots, you would have no trouble with a 3e D&D system. The inverse statement does not hold. So what then? [/QUOTE]
