[QUOTE="GMMichael, post: 7927138, member: 6685730"] Such is the life of the GM. Both 2nd and 3rd editions had books to address this - the Complete Book of Villains and Dungeonscape, respectively. Negotiating with the DM in this way is super meta, but it also seems like it's part of the charm of the game. It's like an inadvertent, "hey, you heroes actually need to rest once in a while," system. It would be a little weird if the party cut through evil gnomes (sorry, had to cross-thread) for three days straight, no sleep, simply because their spells and hit points hadn't run low. I seem to recall 3e's resting was harsh on warriors, and extra harsh on clerics, but great for wizards. Because in those days, a full night's sleep didn't restore all hit points (thanks, 5e). So the warriors didn't "reset to full," the clerics had to burn their precious spells first thing in the morning in order to reset the warriors to full, and the wizards had a cup of coffee because they got all of their spells back, and didn't have that many hit points to begin with. Wizards. So OP 🤓 Reading JT's post, I thought, "isn't the obvious solution Stamina Points for the warriors?" But one solution/implementation of that is the Book of Nine Swords idea, and we just read about where that leads... [/QUOTE]
