[QUOTE="Oofta, post: 7637440, member: 6801845"] The long rest issue is easily resolved by any number of ways. There is no safe spot in the wilderness, so you can get a short rest but not a long. Use the alternate rule where a short rest is overnight and a long rest is a week and (again) must be someplace relatively safe. Have the party stumble across something dangerous they weren't expecting. Limit long rests by DM fiat and player agreement; use a system where you have to have [I]n[/I] number of encounters before you can benefit from a long rest. I'm sure others have come up with other reasons. Personally I just use the alternate rule and limit safe havens while having some kind of time pressure. Which is not to say you should switch, I don't care if you and your group don't. Just that there are a lot of solutions to the perceived problem. [EDIT] Or of course, just don't do wilderness travel random encounters after a certain point. It doesn't have to be an integral part of the game. [/QUOTE]
