[QUOTE="PJ Coffey, post: 9162198, member: 6901867"] Thankyou very much for your work here. 3 rounds between long rests is definitely not enough combat! Fighters and Monks are often described as underpowered (along sometimes with Warlocks) because their resources are gated behind short rests. I am intrigued by the different magic systems that are in place as when you start digging spell slots for post 11th level casters (6th level spells) and pre 11th level casters (5th and below) are treated very differently. "Characters can convert Hit Dice to spell points as they choose a the rate of each Hit Dice grants 2d3 spell points. [URL='https://a5e.tools/rules/resting']Hit Dice only recover at the rate of a maximum half per long rest[/URL]. Unused spell points can be saved from day to day so long as the level times six limit is not exceeded." It's not a universal solution, but it's a bit more elegant than a week long rest etc. The six encounters per day with two short rests is the platonic ideal of the game as described, but outside of a very dungeon crawl environment it's hard to picture it.
