[QUOTE="Oofta, post: 9406607, member: 6801845"] Depending on the group and what's going on, I may have between 4 and 8 combats between long rest, with 6 usually being the max. Every once in a while I'll throw a really tough 1 or 2 encounters between long rests and let people know what they're going to hit so they can have fun going nova. But even when it's on the lower end I don't have an issue challenging the party, you just have to mix it up a bit, build the encounters based on what the group can handle and switch up tactics. Have enemies come in waves or from different directions. For example if the group has multiple AOE effects, don't have monsters always show up in fireball formation or have only a couple of big hitters. I would personally like more options for resource recovery myself and more flexibility. I also don't think you need 6-8 encounters to have a decent challenge. D&D in any edition has never worked well if you only have 1 or 2 fights between long rests. [/QUOTE]
