[QUOTE="Tony Vargas, post: 5975205, member: 996"] Yes, mechanically /preventing/ it, would. Eliminating imbalanced rules that favor it over others, however, would not. This is something that comes up a lot, actually. Someone will pipe up that this or that ed or system or whatever "doesn't support" this or that style. What he really means is that it doesn't over-reward that style or punish other styles. Not that the style isn't possible within the system. Right now - and by right now I mean for it's entire history - D&D overwhelmingly favors the 15 minute workday, and it's only by DM intervention or player restraint that every encounter isn't followed by a complete re-charge of player abilities. That's a flaw. That it's a long standing one that many are accustomed to kludging or living with doesn't make it a feature. At least, with 5e, they're going to design the classes to balance at a point in the adventuring 'day' and tell you what that point is. So the DM at least knows to force days to a certain length to reduce the likelihood of class imbalance. FWLTW. [/QUOTE]
