[QUOTE="FrogReaver, post: 7838638, member: 6795602"] I don't beleive in fully static worlds - but short recovery rates like 1 hour or 1 day don't allow for much to happen while resting to change up the adventure. Having in gameworld time is the DM's friend because it makes anything he wants to happen feel more plausible and less forced. That is longer recovery times for anything makes it easier to have in fiction consequences to resting. You don't have to always do that - but it leaves open the option in typically more naturally occurring ways. I'd expect moreso that they'd pace themselves because as players they know exactly when their resources will come back - even though their character wouldn't necessarily know this. 4e mitigated the problem in a lot of ways that a vanician or neo vanicaiin casting model cannot. 13th age set the rate at some arbitrary number of encounters which works fine in practice but it's less tied to fiction than my level idea and potentially more prone to abuse in more sandbox style games. 13th age works really well for story driven games 5e doesn't work well for anything except dungeon delving - and pretty much any time you aren't dungeon delving or keeping the pressure extremely high for the day then casters are much too strong. My level based system would work well for story driven or sandbox games. It would work well for dungeon delving or overland travel. It would work well for social city encounters. All while being able to accommodate any social/combat/exploration encounter rate that is thrown at the players. [/QUOTE]
