[QUOTE="Rya.Reisender, post: 6957498, member: 6801585"] It's kinda up for the DM to decide when the group can do a rest anyway. I can just decide they can affort to rest 1 hour, but not 8 hours. No need for me to change the rules for that. Many adventure paths also say something like "Every 30 minutes, roll a d20, if the result is 17 or higher, there will be a random encounter", that gives you a fairly good chance to complete a short rest, but it's pretty much impossible to do a long rest unless you want to do several battles during that time. Not to mention that a long rest requires the group to have played out a whole adventuring day. I allow myself some control over when long rests can be done and so far it worked like a charm. My group always takes 1-3 short rests per long rest. Shorter long rests would give me two problems: - The risk of a short rest would be reduced strongly (risk of being ambushed while resting) - It takes waaay longer to complete an adventuring day if you aren't traveling [/QUOTE]
