Extended Rests are overused and the only way to moderate them is with DM control. You can suplement them by creating houserules for moderate rests or similar that enable them to take a longer than normal rest period and regain some of their H/Surges but NO DAILIES.Allowing players to dictate when E/Rests occur is tantamount to allowing them to decide what monsters to face, what treasure they get and knowing the DC of every roll they make... a DM that allows his players this once in a while, fair enough but one that allows it as a general rule of his game isnt a good DM IMO.</blockquote>
