The players I run for are usually pretty well stocked up on healing wands and have a dragon shaman.When I've seen a 5-15 minute day, it's been more because of buffing strategies. They buff out to the max for the first fight and then, due to the large number of buffs out there, can maybe afford to do it once more. That, I think, is the main cause of it. In 1e and 2e, buffs were a lot rarer and casters tended to conserve more of their resources for a longer time, hoping to come across the situation they had prepared their spells for.Now, between spontaneous casters and broadly applicable buffs galore, there's always a reason to be casting something, it seems. So they do.That said, I still haven't seen it very often and never with a party well-loaded with healing wands.</blockquote>
