One big fight, and that's it for the day. Of course, in my campaigns combat plays not as much a part as diplomacy, plots, intrigue, negotiation and exploration, so for my PCs, the day is not really over after the combat. Also, I consider the "You have one big fight against the enemy soldiers led by the warlord and his bodyguards, after the guards alerted them. Once they all are routed, the keep is yours" more realistic in my adventures than the "after you beat the guards at the bridge you continue to the courtyard, where you beat the waiting bodyguards. Then you have the kitchen troupe encounter, then the antechamber, and finally the boss fight".Using the Book of Nine Swords also makes running such combats better, since melee and magic have big, flashy stuff to use in the fights and I don't need to make people ration it.So, I'd be happy if Pathfinder will use similar mechanics to allow a fast and flashy stlye of melee combat, with a few hard hits, and not the steady chipping at the enemy. Buckets of d6s for the big blow, not 3d6 per round, 10 rounds long.</blockquote>
