I disabled the advantage/disadvantage from height and tbh...the game plays better

also got rid of the "too high" bullshit from spells and abilities

it DOES make the game a touch easier, but (and this is a HUGE but), I've been restricting myself to one long rest for every FOUR encounters, and I increased the number of short rests to 2 per long rest.

This makes the game feel oh so much better! This is how the game should be, 5e isn't about Brutal Combats -> Long Rest, it's about resource management
