[QUOTE="guachi, post: 8067235, member: 6785802"] I ditched short rests and converted everything to long rests. And made long rests a week... but PCs got a little of their abilities back each day. In practice, this meant PCs could do one part of an adventure using a week's worth of abilities and then transition to another adventure or a different part of the adventure in a week or so. This enabled longer, overland adventures with scattered encounters or a dungeon with an adventuring days worth of encounters. Sometimes the PCs would really have to think just how long they wanted to rest weighing the resources they'd get back over falling behind the bad guys. The campaign really made it feel like the PCs worked for everything they had. Anything could be dangerous when you are low on resources. One adventure, the PCs did the entire second half of B7 Rahasia completely out of resources - no HD, no spell slots, no sorcery points, etc. They were under some time pressure (rescue the princess before the solstice so a wedding could occur on time) and pulled it off. It made a dungeon the PCs clearly outleveled one that was quite thrilling in the end. [/QUOTE]
