Yeah. Well, realistically, like, and this may be dreadfully unpopular with people who like to say how declarative I am, but my experience is, right, is, like, you probably only want about one long rest maybe every couple of sessions, because if you're doing a lot of fighting, taking short rests often just as good, and it lets classes like fighters, adepts, sorry, monks, um,

Thank you for the thumbs up there. Warlocks, like, have a point, because all their abilities recharge on short rest. If you don't throw short rest in there, they don't get to do anything. They're like, oh, I used my abilities.

well except obviously as rules was written you may take one long rest every 24 hours well yes it's an exaggeration but I was wondering if maybe Jess was talking about short rests because plotty's taking short rests does seem like a good way yeah okay

And they're saying, should we shut the doors and ram some wedges under and then kind of like, no, don't do that. That's how you end up dead. Those are good films. Those are such good films. Yeah, yeah. Strong films. But yeah, that would be a good example, but it wouldn't make sense. Originally,

And then you've got things like I can't remember if it's called The Dome of Resting The Dome of Resting I know what you mean It's not called Tiny Hut Or Magic Hut or something like that Similar vibe Liam and Tiny Hut I can't remember who it belonged to Old Leo Now I know You throw that up After a 10 minute ritual class And then you can camp a little It's just, yeah.
