[QUOTE="Rhenny, post: 6717249, member: 18333"] What's really interesting, and somewhat baffling, is the number of responses that chose 1-2 combats per day. Are these groups playing more story driven campaigns that have a lot of exploration and interaction, rather than combat? It would be interesting to replace the word "combat" in the poll with "encounters" to see the difference. Perhaps the DM designs more encounters per day, but the players only fight in a few of them. In the others they figure out a way to proceed without fighting through interaction, stealth, or other problem solving. Whatever the case may be, I think as a rough guide, the DMG is right on (except at 1st level). With easy encounters and medium encounters it seems as if a party can go for 6-8 combats before taking a long rest. That doesn't mean that all groups will do that, and of course 1 killer combat will zap the party for a day. [/QUOTE]
