[QUOTE="Prakriti, post: 7895507, member: 6855149"] I'm surprised you would say that. My first impression of 5E was that fast healing (healing to full after a long rest, for example) would put a serious damper on location-based adventures, and after running a few myself, I have to say that that initial impression has largely been borne out. At the very least, location-based adventures in 5E are very different from what they were in 1E and 2E, which often spread dungeon-crawling out over a period of several weeks, as the party returned frequently to town to train, rest, and recuperate. This is such an issue for me that I sometimes wonder if people playing through modern reprints of old adventures ([I]Tales from the Yawning Portal[/I] and Castle Ravenloft, for example) are even really experiencing those original adventures in any meaningful sense. But anyway -- what is it about 5E that makes you think it's particularly [I]good[/I] at handling location-based adventures? [/QUOTE]
