[QUOTE="ccs, post: 7342372, member: 6803664"] You're way over thinking it. Just make all short rest abilities into either 2 or 3 uses per long rest & let the players decide how quickly they exhaust their resources. And your idea concerning 6th lv+ spells is just bad. Consider: * It's game night & my players are trekking through the jungles of Chult on foot. In 4.5 hrs of play they cover about 7 hexes worth of travel in the session. (roughly 10 miles/day) They have 7 encounters overall. And in a weeks worth of adventuring our wizard player is allowed to cast her 6th lv spell once in all that time - for no better reason than "No matter how much time passed in-story, it's still Monday 2/12/18 IRL". * * It's now 1 session later & the party has found a dwarven mine. They end up spending [I]this + 3-4 more sessions [/I]clearing it etc, representing only about 8 hours of actual elapsed game world time. And yet in those 8 hrs our wizard has been able to cast that 6th lv spell 4, maybe 5 times? Blech. [/QUOTE]
