[QUOTE="tetrasodium, post: 8960889, member: 93670"] I've run a lot of AL games over the years & can give a bit of an answer on that bolded question of why. AL encourages players to view the game world through a lens shaded with total war. [spoiler="Conan summarized that mindset well"] [MEDIA=youtube]_XUu3_pLPUE[/MEDIA] [/spoiler] At that point it doesn't matter if you "waste" a spell slot on that round when you can just refuse to advance without a rest to recover them. If there are consequences as a result of that rest it doesn't matter since next week will just be continuation of whatever the published adventure is with any consequences almost immediately becoming irrelevant. If something negative happens as a result.. [URL='https://www.enworld.org/threads/is-the-5-min-work-day-a-feature-or-a-bug.688870/post-8647611']great MOAR story[/URL]. If the GM throws their hands up & declares rocks fall or walks away it means victory achieved & that gm was just a poor n00b gm who couldn't manage it. [/QUOTE]
