That's a very modest range of choices, and the occasions when learning a ritual is more important than an extended rest are pretty rare. There's a lot of scope to set up a more wide-ranging system that makes long-term time matter.For me, the GM-side of this - for example, rules or advice on pacing and/or growing the opposition - is actually less important. A lot of that I can work out for myself. Whereas the trade-offs on the player side are something which I would like to see being properly balanced and integrated with the overall frameworks for PC build and action resolution.</blockquote>
