[QUOTE="TessarrianDM, post: 3589503, member: 51798"] As the DM, I definitely prefer the second interpretation (x spells per calender day). It means the players must pay much closer attention to budgeting their spell use, or that they must spend more of their treasure and/or time buying or creating disposable magic items such as potions, scrolls, and wands. It seems to slow power creep some. With a large group of characters (9) they have ample spellcasting ability (4 primary: a Cleric, Healer, Cleric/Wizard/Rogue, and a Mystic Theurge; 2 secondary: Paladin and Ranger). When we were doing the "multiple rest stops/day", the Monk, Fighter, and Fighter/Rogue had several encounters where everything was pretty much dealt with by the spellcasters before they had time to get in range. Now, the players are much more tight-fisted with their spells, sometimes going through multiple combats in a single day and using 50% or less of their prepared spells. Often, they hold on to more powerful spells rather than use them, "just in case". [/QUOTE]
