(Since spellcasters are involved, the day must be at least 1 hour and 15 minutes, since they need to prepare their spells. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> )Smart players ensure that they are never in a situation where they get low resources. This might mean that they leave the dungeon after 15 minutes of combats and use their remaining resources to build a defensible position where they can rest. And if they really can't do it, but are still out of resources, they probably die. There is no last ditch efforts you can take if your down to 8 hit points, facing monsters that deal 30 points of damage per round, and don't know if the rogue will actually find and disable all traps in areas where you could bypass the monsters. I have heard this argument before. "If low on resources, a smart player will find a way to think himself out of a situation. He will reach in his self and find something he can use to get out of his situation". If you're out of resources, there is no way out. If its gas tank is empty, a car won't drive, regardless how good its driver is. Such a think just doesn't exist. Either there is some mechanical resource you haven't spend and that can make you go (oh look, let's drink this potion of "Restful Nourishment", or let's spend a Second Wind to recover half my hit points, let's use this expensive Staff of Fireballs), or you're out. Finito. Over. Perdu. Bye bye. Rest now or fail. Or just fail. Resting optional. Not suitable for kids under age 3. Batteries not included. Thanks for the dumbing down statement. That was really needed and is a great contribution to an otherwise healthly discussion. If I had a penny for every time this is brought up, I might have... Ah, well with the current $-€ exchange rate, it's note even worth trying to make up a reasonable sounding number... <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
