[QUOTE="FinalSonicX, post: 5920934, member: 63787"] I think the overnight healing should be changed so that it doesn't heal players back to full - make it require a longer amount of time while still remaining reasonable (a month is way too long but a week is acceptable I think). Make the overnight healing an optional rule listed with the advice that this will make it so that play progresses more quickly in-game for those who care less about tracking the progression of time. The reason that I say this is that it's very rare for my to see a piece of fiction where a hero is dropped and somehow recovers after a night's sleep. Imagine a siege scenario where an attempt is made to break the siege by the party. They go out and have a huge battle and nearly die so they retreat into the castle. Now they think they have a better idea of how to go about their tactics next time - so they hop in bed and sleep 8 hours and they're good to go tomorrow! It doesn't "feel" right to me - our heroes can be heroic even if it takes a few days of rest after a particularly tough day of battling. I don't see the gains from making players heal fully after a day. My question is - why is it unreasonable to say "we rest for 4 days" as the default for the rules and get back into the game? The exact number of days you rest doesn't matter in terms of actual playtime - but it does give a sense of time progression - like the world is moving around you. [/QUOTE]
