- If you want to play in Story mode, resting would be easy and cost maybe 10 food points.
- If you play at medium difficulty, resting could cost 40 food points.
- Hardcore D&D stetting might put resting at 120 food points.
- Nightmare mode and you'll need 240 food points for a night's rest.
I agree with others ... this (and many other things) should certainly NOT be defined by general dificiulty settings. :-/
Absolutely it should.
If you are resting after every battle you want easy mode. I couldn't imagine my spellcasters being able to blast through all their spells for every battle -- it would trivialize combat. (For reference I've never done more than 5 long rests in any play through and went through two with zero long rests.)
If you want more of a challenge you need to manage your resources, but the reality is not everyone enjoys managing their resources.
Tying the number of long rests you can have to difficulty is absolutely the way to go.
Just to be sure, i dont disagree that we should get some kind of settings for limitation of long rests ...
I just disagree that it should be set automaticky by choosing dificiulty ... i believe it should be two separate settings.
Lets say that i want challenging fights ...
But i hate this specific kind of resource management, bcs it kinda forces me to have HUGE amount of food all the time and i find it ridiculous ...
Then, lets say that i am one of those strong willed people who can manage to restrict himself to not resting every five minutes of gameplay ...
And finaly, lets say that its for f**k sake my busines how i handle my own gameplay!
(no hard feelings, just joking ... but still kinda making a point)
In that case settings of Medium, or even Hardcore would suit me ...
Yet if i simply dont want to deal with this s*it ... all i need to do, is set "amount of resources needed for Long Rest" to "0" ... and VOILA! I have EXACTLY the experience i want. :3
You know that is the beauty, of untied settings ... you can gat what you want ... and i also can get what i want ... in fact everyone can set it just the way they want.
