You can have encounters happen back to back if you want to increase tension and difficulty, or give bosses two or three health bars each with a different phase, and so on and so forth. It also better reflects fiction in my eyes. Usually, Fantasy adventure is treated as a marathon, but not a marathon in the sense of managing powers and cooldowns. There may be a few things only possible a few times for the scope of the story, like maybe casting a 6th+ spell or something equivalent, but usually these characters have a lot of access to their tricks.</p></blockquote><p></p>
