[QUOTE="Vocenoctum, post: 4399461, member: 2477"] Actually, Elric's fatigue/ weakness was an important part of such stories. I'm sure if you gave players a mechanic by which they regained powers by slaying foes, they would go longer. Until then, Adventuring Parties are the equivalent of swat teams. You raid the house (dungeon), kicking in doors as rapidly as possible to overwhelm the enemy and defeat them. You then pull back to the station (inn) and rearm & rest, to go over what was found and decide your next step. The "problem" with the "15 minute adventuring day" is just a pacing problem. A DM determines the opposition and thus determines the pacing. If you want the players to last for an 8 hour encounter of war, then you break it up into skirmishes, make sure that the expendables are effective, and you make sure the players understand what you expect of them.
