[QUOTE="doctorbadwolf, post: 7035595, member: 6704184"] We've been using this, minus the bag of rats, for a while. Most of the time we've played 5e. I think we first encountered the "concentrate through short rests" part" with a wizard casting some concentration spell at the start of the day, and it never occurred to any of us that this might not be raw and rai until someone ITT suggested otherwise. The other aspect, of gaining back a spell slot while maintaining the spell that said slot was used to cast was encountered also with a wizard, while taking a long rest. Bc the wizard was an elf, and this didn't sleep, it seemed obvious that they could maintain Concentration while meditating through a long rest. Since the rules clearly state what happens when you rest, and no specific rule contradicts the general rule about rests, the RAW is pretty clear: There would have to be a specific rule stopping you from regaining the spell slot under that specific circumstance, otherwise the general rule applies, and you gain back your spell slots. So yeah, that wizard more than once cast a 24 hour duration spell right before a long rest, and got both the benefit of the spell and the slot for the whole next day. That campaign fizzled due to IRL drama and someone moving, and now we have a warlock, and yeah, it works the same for the warlock. [/QUOTE]
