[QUOTE="IceBear, post: 80335, member: 1118"] And I'll say it again - if many of these people played the D&D computer games, you only had to sleep 8 hours to get your spells back. There are some rules that people just believe they know without really studying them (A common one, is that a natural 1 on a skill check is a failure - people are extrapolating from combat rolls to skill rolls without verifying (even though it is plainly stated in the books)). So, if you've played D&D for years and your DM said you need 8 hours sleep to get back your spells (which I think is what most DMs said - the unspoken part of that was [I]per day[/I]), the computer games only require you to have 8 hours sleep to get back your spells, then you start to think you only need 8 hours to get back your spells. Normally, in the course of a day someone only rests once for 8hours, so the way they play meshes with the rules. It's only when someone tries to be a munchkin and "over rest" to get more spells do we have a problem. IceBear [/QUOTE]
