[QUOTE="overgeeked, post: 8700248, member: 86653"] It is for me. It's a simple enough house rule to ban the spell and fix long rests. But according to my players you'd think I lit their houses on fire. My players disagree. They love anything that makes the game less challenging and hate anything that makes the game more challenging. Yes, I expect the game to be challenging, the players don't want a challenge, therefore I'm the problem. :rolleyes: Good decisions is the characters making good decisions in the game fiction, not the player cheesing the rules to drain the game of any and all risks. Exactly. And that's not possible with cowardly PCs or players who cannot accept their characters facing risks. Memorable stories come from overcoming obstacles and persevering in the face of adversity...not hiding from obstacles, ignoring challenges, and complaining about adversity. [/QUOTE]
