[QUOTE="Mannahnin, post: 9552103, member: 7026594"] 5 and the required 1 ten minute rest per hour, as I wrote. (The Underworld & Wilderness Adventures, page 8). Yeah, most editions usually only require casting with one hand, though since OD&D is silent on the subject, that was always open to DM ruling. AD&D 1E requires one hand for the somatic component and a second hand for material components, if the spell has both (Gary Gygax, clarification in Dragon #38). 2E is a bit vague, just saying you need "both arms free" (PH 85). In our OD&D and B/X games we usually had one or more Magic-Users holding lanterns or torches, though sometimes someone else would (instead or in addition), depending on the size and composition of the party. I've only played OD&D up to 5th, 6th level, but we still had a decent amount of resource challenges in dungeons, even after getting Continual Light. Cliffs and pits in OD&D are always a question of getting on the same page with the DM about how the game world works and climbing, usually with references to real life and/or movie protagonists. Same as it ever was. Similar to Free Kriegspiel-style games. Playing the world. [4E has entered the chat] But yeah. [/QUOTE]
