[QUOTE="Razz, post: 3559968, member: 3014"] Don't worry, [B]Arkhandus[/B], I've read your posts and I totally understand and agree with what you're saying. But some folks just either don't seem to get, don't want to get it, or would really like to see D&D implode on itself with stupid changes like "per encounter", "per in-game hour", "per pee-break", "per everytime-someone-fiddles-with-their-dice-because- it- means-they're-bored-so-recharge-their- character-to-full-and-they'll-get-in-the-mood-again". The whole "cast spells at certain times of the day" is too much book-keeping. Isn't D&D trying to limit bookeeping here?! That might fly with a specific campaign setting, but D&D has to stick with a system that's not only common to most people, but easier bookeeping, easier to understand (there's a lot of dummies out there getting into D&D now, thanks to WotC's rise with the game), and easier to base future rulesets on.
