BG3.5 - Hellraisers (Fanfiction)
Baldur's Gate 3.5: Hellraisers - an original fanfic story that is a sequel to Baldur's Gate 3 Fanfic: The Afflicted. It picks up immediately after the events of Baldur's Gate 3 as characters from the previous fanfic - Fiovay, Kai, Aelun, Vlyn, and the other members of their party - travel to Avernus. Their quest is to save Karlach but also to hopefully find and rescue Darson, Aelun's father, from the clutches of Demogorgon.

You literally just did. Twice:


Rests are not necessary for this.


It's no simpler than auto-refresh out of combat. In fact, it's more complex since you have to actively keep track of resources over time (Even more so if there are any non-combat related resource uses, such as using spells to bypass obstacles or taking damage from traps). Rather than an auto-refresh system where you only have to track resource usage during a fight.

Rests are not the simplest way to manage resources.

Rests are the simplest way to manage actions.

Which is relevant in both TT and video game design.
