However never been determined by that.I have encountered games that do do it, however given the sample size I'd say pretty solidly less than 10%.Its a good guideline. As a DM learns, they can aim for more nuanced targets like "Even the casters are down to at-will attacks for 1/3rd of the time" on average or similar. Its in the same way that the CR system is aimed for a new DM designing encounters for new players.That is essentially how I used it for a druid I played. Not a houserule, since the DM hadn't made a ruling on it. It was often my go-to concentration spell in combat and not encouraging a conga-line in the middle of a fight seemed sensible while still getting good use out of the spell without abusing it.That isn't quite the case. 2-3 encounters a day, even with short rests in between, will still massively favour primary casters over most other characters.</blockquote>
