Before this thread I thought I was on the "they don't have to make a 5E simulator" train. After reading how far people think Larian should deviate from the Core Rules, I'm practically converted to the other side of the fence. Outside of pick up games, I don't find 5E to be all that compelling of an iteration, and I think if Larian wants to lean into the reactivity that people enjoyed in DOS2, they should give it a shot. But completely reworking character resources to something like cool downs or mana points is way beyond the pale. It's also not really even worth considering. If Larian tried to completely remove/replace the resting system they'd be dumping a fair portion of the work they've done so far downt he drain. It really just doesn't bear thinking about.
