Still I'm sure there are there are situation where gathering wouldn't be possible, like you don't have the time on a forced march, it in a dangerous situation... at which point finding the time to gather seems a lot like finding the time to rest.Arbitrarily saying no, isn't a good thing, but it isn't arbitrary to stop rests in the middle of a dangerous environment.Arguments which implies it isn't settled thing, it isn't a fact just an opinion. Not really, there needs to be some purpose to rolling the maths rocks.Adding several extra things to track doesn't seem to be fun for most people, it's why so few people track ammo, or encumbrance or even rations anymore. It's partly why the rest mechanic moved being fully healed, as previously seeing if the party was fully healed was a matter of tracking charges on a Wand of Cure Light Wounds, so you knew when to buy a replacement.</blockquote>
