[QUOTE="Magic Rub, post: 481344, member: 3619"] What exactly does day mean to you? A doctor tells you to take 1 pill per day, no more no less or you'll die. Are you going to take one every 8 hours? Please explain. I don't mean to be rude here... but are you smoking crack?!? :) I don't care what time of day... (day being a generic term to describe the [b]length of TIME[/b] it takes a planet to make a full revolution) ...a caster prepares his (or her) spells, or what time of day... (see my afore noted description of what a day is) ...that caster rests. (& by rest I mean sleep or meditate, you get the point I hope). Night is a suggestive/relative term. It's all relative to specific casters daily activity cycles. I don't care how you play, I'm simply clarifying a rule that does exist, in regards to this post... As I've explained as per my interpretation of the rules. Yes I think your DM is correct As per my interpretation of the rules (which I think are quite clear on this issue). No you may not prepare your spells again at 6pm per the above example. Do whatever you want to Saeviomagy, I really don't care. I simply gave my interpretation of the rules. I guess I'm wrong, "about a great many things" (Shameless star wars quote). In fact some of the correct :rolleyes: answers seem to be... 1. A day is actually however long you want it to be. 2. The fact that you can leave spell slots open & fill them later in the "day" is a useless ability, something stupid the game designers just put in the game for kicks (what a bunch of morons those designers are). 3. 3rd Edition is a very cryptic system with hidden meaning behind everything. 4. It is possible to achieve 8hrs of "Sleep" equivalent rest several times in a day. That is unless of course you interpret the rules taking point #1 in to account, then this point should read It is possible to achieve 8hrs of "Sleep" equivalent rest over the course of several days. 5. Mages are really the most uber powerful beings in the game because they can (re)prepare their entire compliment of spells as often as they want to. It's one of the hidden secretes as noted in point #3. To hell with game balance! :D Well that's about enough outta me for now... :D ;) [/QUOTE]
