[QUOTE="Yaarel, post: 8541630, member: 58172"] Ah. Yeah, the two long rests per level depend on the math. It depends on how many encounters it takes to level. For much of the campaign, especially tier 5 to 8 but also tier 9 to 12, there are about 15 standard encounters per level, so a rest per 6 to 8 encounters works out to be twice. But if leveling happens less often, with many more encounters before the next level, then have a deep rest for about every seventh encounter. For me, I dont use experience point nor milestones. I count encounters before leveling the party. If an encounter turns out easier than I expect, it counts as only half an encounter, and if it is a near-TPK, it counts as two encounters. Likewise, noncombat encounters count the same, whether easy, standard, or hard. The encounters start at roughly 4, 7, 10, and 13 encounters for the levels of the apprentice tier. Then the number of encounters stabilizes at around 16 encounters per level (give or take depending on the narrative) for the professional tier 5-8 and the master tier 9-12. For the archon tier 13-16 and legend tier 17-20, the encounters drop back down to about 10. I use two deep rests per level for every tier. The apprentice tier needs the help, and the archon and legend have earned their plot protection. [/QUOTE]
