[QUOTE="Sacrosanct, post: 6660891, member: 15700"] That's because you're probably like me and don't worry too much about encounter building or adhering to an XP budget. But if you use 5e, every encounter is somewhat following those guidelines. So if you take a dozen separate encounters and lump them all into one because the party decided to Leeroy Jenkins the dungeon, it would be WAAAYY over XP budget. So [i]technically[/i] it wouldn't be just one encounter, but a dozen that just so happened to come all at once or one after the other in quick succession before the party gets a real chance to rest. My only point was that it's very easy to do more than 6-8 encounters per day depending on what's happening in the game world, because it doesn't pause magically as soon as you hit X encounters per day, or as soon as the wizard is out of spells. I can't count the number of times we as a party decided to keep going on because the risk of stopping was greater than the risk of continuing. [/QUOTE]
