Message: <blockquote data-quote="gizmo33" data-source="post: 3773881" data-attributes="member: 30001">This is unsubstantiated.Perhaps, but "incredibly simple", "extremely ludicrous", "perfectly reasonable" - everything with you internet folks is always some bizarre exaggeration.  This is getting to be a waste of my time.  Applying fatigue effects in DnD (like the 3E versions) has always been a bit of a record keeping hassle IME.No, the clear game mechanics reason that people rest are to "recover resources", and not always spells.  I don't exactly know the nature of the mental fatigue that causes a spell to be wiped from the caster's mind in DnD, or even if it is fatigue.  But so far no one is filling in those details anyway, I suspect because they don't exist.  Part of my "differences aren't significant" statement is trying to convey that I think you guys are making much of the large amount of possible interpretation that can apply to each DnD mechanic - the game was never about hit locations, fatigues vs. wounds, and the myriad of other details.  This means that there is a range of possible interpretations for the mechanics.  These subtleties are hard to discuss in the super aggressive and hyperbolic environment of this thread.Wait - I can't find an example of something and that's taken to be me conceding your point.  You can't/won't find an example of something and that's an appeal for me to do more reading?  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f615.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":confused:" title="Confused    :confused:"  data-smilie="5"data-shortname=":confused:" />  The point about DnD having to be a literature simulator is not really mine to make, and given the adversarial nature of this thread it doesn't make sense to help out a lot when my contribution will not be taken in good faith.</blockquote>
