I'm wondering if the core classes could be adjusted to something like a per encounter set up without really screwing up balance.Considering just the core, base classes from the Player's Handbook, what would be the overall effect of changing the "daily resets" to hourly resets?That is, changing the recovery of spells slots, hit points, X times per day abilities, etc. to coming back after 1 hour of rest rather than the normal overnight rest (or a full day).The effect I want is for the PCs to be able to adventure for a long time during a day, rather than get 1-4 encounters in a dungeon and then have to go back to camp -- 1-2 hours adventure in a day, then 22-23 hours of rest at camp. I want rest periods to be based on the actual day/night cycle rather than the "I'm tapped out of spells, let's break for the day" cycle.But I'm wondering if making this alteration will seriously throw things out wack. I don't see any major problems with the concept with a first look.I don't want to rewrite or rework any classes, merely shorten the reset times to 1 hour from 1 day/night. Would this be workable? Would the core classes/mechanics still be [arguably] balanced with a hourly reset? (I'd use the same concept for monster ability resets.)Quasqueton</blockquote>
