I find myself struggling with spell-caster classes because i either recklessly spam spells - or i practically never use them by trying to save them for the "right moment".
I tend to favor ranged attacks with high-ground bonuses and so often finish most fights without taking any notable health damage.
So i end up needing to Long Rest for spell recovery much more often than i need the Short Rest feature, which kinda makes me think i am doing something wrong.
Also while the camping/food materials seem plenty i have heard that if you Long Rest too often then some story plots/events "secretly" proceed in the background which tends to block you out from a notable chunk of the story/events (like a person you could have saved might already be dead if you Long Rest too often).
So fellow BG3 fans, how often do you Long Rest - especially when talking about caster classes?
