[QUOTE="Ridley's Cohort, post: 5927457, member: 545"] It is all "metagame reasoning". It is all arbitrary. Decide what will be fun for you based on how it will play at your table. IMO, those who like the tactical resource management grinds (count me in!) will probably find it more interesting if only 25% of your resources refresh after every night. The problem here is how to do the bookkeeping, but certainly spell slots and HD and HPs could be handled this way. Those who hate bookkeeping should go with full refresh every 24 hours. FWIW, there are fantasy game systems that are (IMNSHO) deep and rich with texture, where casting spells tends to cost you "hit points" (sort of). In fact, in most of these systems the only limit on how many spells you can cast in a day is when the wizard falls over unconscious (or the stack of fatigue penalties is so great attempting to cast is pointless). The idea that mental effort is divorced from physical effort is based on fundamentally weak reasoning. [/QUOTE]
