[QUOTE="Harzel, post: 7213865, member: 6857506"] And I didn't say that [I]you [/I]said it was better. The exchange was about your claim about what the [I]designers [/I]have said. You referred to it as a guideline from the designers. I don't think it is unfair to say that you were implying that the designers were imputing some sort of goodness to having 6-8 encounters per day. If not, then what does it mean for something to be a guideline? I agree that attrition is part of the game, and that different numbers of encounters per adventuring day will make the game play differently. Usually, when someone mentions "6-8 encounters per adventuring day", they are referring to a particular passage in the DMG, and implying that in that passage the designers say that the game is designed around having 6-8 encounters per adventuring day. My claim is that that is a misreading of that passage, and a fairly obvious misreading at that. If you had some other source in mind for 6-8 encounters per adventuring day being a guideline from the developers, I apologize for the assumption, and I would be eager to know about the source.
