[QUOTE="CanadienneBacon, post: 6827684, member: 11146"] The PHB text on long rest provides this: I agree the text in bold in the first paragraph is grammatically vague. The thread you point to isn't determinative to me, but in this instance, Mike Mearls's comments are, and I'm pleased you've sussed them out, [MENTION=40413]GlassEye[/MENTION]. That's new information to me. According to Mearls (I don't agree or follow everything he tweets, but here I do), the "1 hour" applies to anything that, [I]when combined[/I], would serve to interrupt the long rest for one hour. In other words, an hour's worth of interruptions will preclude benefitting from a long rest. I further note that, after having reviewed the PHB during my lunch hour, it looks like you'd simply re-start a long rest if interrupted (see quote, above); you can't [I]benefit [/I]from a long rest more than once in twenty four hours, but you can attempt the long rest more than once. What's the upshot? Your long rest hasn't been interrupted. You could, if you wanted, break camp and walk a bit away from the carnage, then make camp elsewhere. So long as you don't walk more than 59 minutes and 42 seconds. [insert eye roll here] [/QUOTE]
