[QUOTE="Charlaquin, post: 7941084, member: 6779196"] I’m not familiar with the reference. Which is why I said combat [I]alone[/I]. And I did edit “easy” to “plausible.” Because yes, I do believe the intent is that it not be plausible for combat alone to prevent a party from completing a long rest. On the other hand, if the party wizard spends a lot of time casting rituals, doing research, maybe takes a walk to clear her head, a late-night goblin attack that goes on for a full minute might push her over the edge. If the party gets attacked by giant spiders that drag off the sleeping rogue, the party only has an hour, minus the time the initial combat took, to rescue him before the rescue mission spoils the rest. I don’t think the text is ambiguous. Yes, your interpretation is [I]possible[/I], but it’s not the most natural reading of the sentence, and if it had been the intent it would have been trivially easy to word in such a way that made it [I]completely[/I] unambiguous. I’m not. I’m favoriting the most straightforward interpretation of the wording, because I don’t see any reason to assume that isn’t the correct interpretation [/QUOTE]
