[QUOTE="Blue, post: 7471274, member: 20564"] It's not - as long as the DM favors both shorter and longer. So that means that as long as a DM runs the same above the 6-8 encounter limit as below it - 13 encounters (+6 over average) as they do 1 encounter days (-6 under average), as many 10 encounter days as 4 encounter days, it's all good. However, if I'f heard once about DMs that regularly go as much over than under I'd be surprised. In other words, that is one perfectly valid mechanical solution that tables are not doing regularly for whatever reasons they have. Ah, but "short days" + "medium days" isn't a balance. Short days favor long-rest recover characters, while medium days are at the design tested place and are more neutral. It would be "short days" + "long days" (+ any amount of "medium days"). And since tables do not seem to have regular adoption of "long days" (significantly > that 6-8), that's why there is a problem. Thank you for providing such a great example of the issue, and since it is your own example I hope that you pay attention to it. Let's see, using what tools I do have - frequenent feedback on ENworld - is less a view of all DMs then your thoughts without any backing form anyone else. Sorry, that doesn't fly. I will gladly consider your point that it isn't widespread if you provide some sort of evidence at a greater level. If you don't have that or have never seen it, perhaps you should consider that you are only talking for your table and that this might be widespread. [/QUOTE]
