| Sep 26, 2022 at 12:26 | comment | added | ShadowRanger | @CGCampbell: The rules don't talk about calendar days, they talk about per 24 hours. As written, this would simply mean a rolling 24 hour basis. Arguably, this would mean you have to finish your rest at the same time or later each day (can't end at 0800 one day and 0759 the next), but most DMs I know of typically play it with a little flexibility there (I'd personally allow you to gain the benefits so long as long rest N+1 ends over 24 hours after long rest N began, which might be a little generous, but it still ensuring at least 16 hours between long rest benefits). | |

| Sep 26, 2022 at 11:34 | comment | added | CGCampbell | I understand we probably aren't recommended to get this 'down into the weeds of minutia', but as I parse the question, it is also asking this... let's say a group starts a long rest at sundown, the LR is interrupted at midnight the same night. Does the group now have to wait until sundown the next evening to 'restart' LR, or once the interruption is finished after midnight, can the LR be restarted immediately? So, if it has to wait until day 2 sundown, then the benefits aren't available until day three sundown, or if the LR can restart early in the morning of day 2, then they would | |

| Sep 25, 2022 at 23:22 | comment | added | Kryomaani | Even if "One long rest is allowed in 24 hours" was a rule, I think the answer to OP's question would still be the same, since an interrupted long rest is no long rest at all. After all, the long rest is considered to have happened only once it's been successfully completed. | |
