[QUOTE="tetrasodium, post: 8137712, member: 93670"] I think it's more than that. 5e's overly effective rest/recovery system can pretty easily result in a setup that plays out not too different from a video game with too many cheat codes enabled if the campaign is not structured to enforce an extremely specific encounter acing that doesn't work well with many adventures & trying to change the problem rather than the campaign causes a host of problems in a system structured to fight against those attempts. edit: On that note, getting rid of full heal on long rest & spending hit dice on short rests to roll back towards 3.5 style recovery [spoiler="normal & faster healing recovery"] [ATTACH type="full" alt="1606845081727.png"]129426[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full" alt="1606845098914.png"]129427[/ATTACH][/spoiler] It's a whole different ballgame when it might take a week or so of strahd screwing with the party while they are trying to recover... the huge percentage of classes who can gain access to heal spells complicates & waters down things though Of course, dndbeyond [URL='https://www.dndbeyond.com/forums/d-d-beyond-general/bugs-support/47019-long-rest-button-and-slow-natural-healing']doesn't even support[/URL] 5e's official variant recovery options so expect to draw a hard line banning it if you go that route [/QUOTE]
