[QUOTE="pming, post: 7940893, member: 45197"] Hiya! In my game, PC's don't have digital watches. ;) A "Short Rest" in my game is 1d4 hours. I roll randomly. If the PC's haven't been 'doing much' since they woke up, I'll subtract 1 or 2. If they have been 'adventuring' for at least an hour, then I roll 1d4. If they've been adventuring for more than 6 hours, I'll add 1, 2 or 3 hours. A "Long Rest" is "one night". Basically from dusk till dawn. Of that time, most of it has to be spent sleeping (at least 6 hours continuous). This will typically account for about 12 hours of the day, plus or minus. In short, I don't let it be 'exact'...so if the PC's have 4 hours of oil left for their lamps and decide to take a short rest, they can't just assume that they have 3 hours of oil left. No digital watches, remember? ;) ^_^ Paul L. Ming [/QUOTE]
