[QUOTE="tetrasodium, post: 8647464, member: 93670"] Back in past editions when it was tuned to an expected 2-4ish encounters it was possible to call 1-2 encounter days 5mwd-15mwd. In 5e with the 4-6 medium to hard encounter expectation tuning & 4-6 loldeadly++ reality I don't think it's reasonable to still call it a 5mwd. Even during the most extreme 3.x 5mwd it was not at all common to see the kind of nova present with every player unloading every spell slot & ability from most powerful to least like in 5e. I think it would be better to call 5e's equivalents the George Jetson work day & Homer Simpson workday. Both were ddo nothing jobs that took no skill thought or effort but they respectively got played off as if they were grueling things in need of severe recovery after work. For those who don't get the reference, George Jetson's "job" was to push a button after a grueling prep like [URL='https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-0S3Jf-NxdI']this[/URL] while Homer ate donuts & drank coffee while sitting in front of buttons at a nuclear reactor.
