[QUOTE="billd91, post: 5512194, member: 3400"] Ask and ye shall receive... I have my 1e DMG right nearby. And it's not entirely as bleak as that. The spellcaster needs a certain amount of rest to regain spells based on the highest level of spells he wants to regain. It starts at 4 hours for 1st and 2nd level spells, 6 hours for 3-4th level, 8 hours for 5-6th levels, 10 hours for 7-8th, and 12 whopping hours for 9th level spells. And that's not all. Each spell level to be recovered requires 15 minutes. For first level spells, that's 15 minutes each. Second level spells 30 minutes each, etc. I can't find anything about interruptions but I think I've looked long enough to make the point that recovering spells in 1e takes a LOT longer than 3e. Fire off a bunch of spells and you'll be spending substantial amounts of time recovering them. EDIT: This is one reason, for those following these rules, that spellcasters were a bit more careful to conserve their resources in 1e. [/QUOTE]
