[QUOTE="pming, post: 8122853, member: 45197"] Hiya! Three things. In no order... (A) "Oh man, my leg is broken, my nose is broken, I have a punctured lung, and I REALLY need to get someone to pull this arrow out of my left eyeball. Sure is a good thing the inn is only an hours walk away, I only have 2hp left! A couple beers and a good nights rest and I'll be good to go by noon tomorrow!" (RE: "You had a Long Rest. POOF! You're all healed up full") (B)"I am a Master of the Magical Arts! I require... the clawed foot of a crow, three drops of Beholder blood, a sprig of the rare Snow-Flower, and the eye of a newt!" ... ... "Uh, boss? Yeah, you're kinda old, but all the cool kids just use a 'Spell Component Pouch'. It's got everything you need, really. And you can get one on sale for only 20gp down at Bob n' Betties Apothecary, at least until Tuesday". (RE: "Component Pouch / Arcane Focus") (C) The assumption that every PC WILL get to level 20...not [I]MIGHT[/I] get to level 20, but WILL. Add in the assumption that doing so is "just normal, everyday gaming, no biggie" and it should only take a year at most (seems to be the general consensus IME on various 5e boards and talk). I absolutely LOATHE this attitude! I get the desire to "be cool and epic"...but, like Syndrome said: "Once everyone is Super...no one will be!". That's pretty much all versions of D&D after about a quarter of the way through 2e. ^_^ Paul L. Ming [/QUOTE]
