[QUOTE="Oofta, post: 8633623, member: 6801845"] I agree there are differences - mostly in how quickly people recover which is why a long rest in my campaigns take a week or more - but whether that made a big difference just depended on the group. Heck, I remember playing one of the old gold box D&D games and it had a "rest and cast until healed button". There was a spot where I was climbing a tower that was collapsing around me and I just kept hitting that rest button until I no longer got "rocks fall and interrupt your rest". In other words, to other people the flow of the game may have been more jarring depending on play style. For me the downtime is about the same as it always was. I think there was a pretty vast difference between tables in AD&D because most of what you mention as different were things I simply didn't see back in the day. In any case, my point was that I don't see much similarity between 4E and 5E other than 5E borrowed a couple of bits and pieces from 4E. [/QUOTE]
