| Jun 6, 2019 at 13:33 | comment | added | falsedot | @Akixkisu I'd say decreasing the amount of available resources so that a party is expected to spend all of them in say 3-4 medium encounters instead of 6-8 medium. Nothing to do with levelling; I removed this bit from the question to make it clearer. | |
| Jun 6, 2019 at 13:31 | comment | added | falsedot | @Rubiksmoose while it does save some time (esp around initiative etc), having a hard encounter takes more time than a medium so it's not a perfect solution. Plus I'm already doing hard/deadly ones and also sometimes it feels better to have some easy encounters | |
| Jun 6, 2019 at 13:27 | comment | added | falsedot | @KorvinStarmast the question is quite similar but I think it's focused on the adventuring day vs in-game day (at least most answers do). Your answer is certainly helpful but I think that the reverse budget bit is more about having 3 tougher encounters instead of 6-8 medium? I find that harder encounters typically take longer to run, so it's still about the same "XP per real time hour". The bit about having a short rest after each encounter is interesting though, maybe if we leave 1 short rest out we can also leave 1 encounter (or a third of the XP) as well? | |
| Jun 6, 2019 at 13:25 | comment | added | Rubiksmoose | Because I think I may be missing something, it's there some reason why simply increasing the xp budget for the encounters won't work here? | |

| Jun 6, 2019 at 13:05 | comment | added | Akixkisu | Perhaps adressing specific parts of the Adventuring Day (DMG 84-85) would make this more clear for me. | |
| Jun 6, 2019 at 13:05 | comment | added | Erik | @Akixkisu as I understand it, OP is looking for how to change characters/resources, so that if they face half as many encounters as the book recommends, they'll still be running on fumes at the end of that. | |

| Jun 6, 2019 at 12:56 | comment | added | Akixkisu | @falsedot I'm confused. Are you looking for your players to gain more XP to shorten the time that levelling requires, are you looking to make each session one fixed-level, are you looking for tips that decrease the time spent on some activities? Are you looking for ways that decrease the amount of available resources? | |
| Jun 6, 2019 at 12:51 | comment | added | KorvinStarmast | This topic comes up a lot, and I think we have some answers on it but I may be "cross remembering" some of the discussions I am in at gitp; forums. Will try to find the related Q&A I think I am remembering. This is related: does the "reverse budget" piece of my answer help, or am I missing what your problem is? | |
| Jun 6, 2019 at 12:50 | comment | added | falsedot | @Szega not really, I want to limit the resources so that they only need do to say 3-4 encounters instead of 6-8 per day. | |

| Jun 6, 2019 at 12:42 | comment | added | Szega | So you want the party to expend more of their resources in encounters that are not harder? | |
