Even in Neverwinter Nights, where it just takes 20-40 seconds and being reasonably far away from hostile monsters, you don't get people napping after every small group because that slooooows thiiiiiiiings doooooown.Part of my group's unwritten rules are that I generally allow the characters to rest for free between sessions - it's the assumed default unless I specifically instruct everyone to record their current HP and ability uses - but don't typically allow the party to rest during a session, especially not with a one-liner like "I Greater Teleport the party back home, rest for 8 hours, Greater Teleport the party back to exactly where they were, and go through the south door."But no, I haven't banned any of those spells or changed any except for Rope Trick, which I altered from "Target:         One touched piece of rope from 5 ft. to 30 ft. long" to "it works like Mordenkainen's Magnificent Mansion, so don't be a rules lawyer."Uh, so if you take on two encounters and then assassins in the night, that's three encounters before resting, which is hardly a 15-minute day...But yeah, usually the heroes are trying to do things which are a matter of urgency in my games, because that's what makes them heroes. Part of this is that I'm a terrible dungeon designer, so I don't have very many holes in the ground for the heroes to meticulously explore.</blockquote>
