In my mind it all comes down to the difference between an RPG and a board game. Doing it like that, you'll avoid screwing up everything else. Instead, just move healing off of the 'rests' system and give them times (hours, days, etc). If you want to change healing rates, do NOT redefine the lengths of 'rests'. If you want a really low magic and special ability campaign, that almost works, except there are plenty of amazing things some classes or races can do who's recharge times are not based on 'rests' which get distinctly MORE powerful in that kind of setting. Now that was only with the base races and classes, though some specialties/traditions/whatever that class calls it have more things that get screwed over. Wizard - Expended spell slots regained after a week. Warlock - Expended Spell Slots & Mystic Arcanum & Eldritch Master recharge after a week. Sorcerer - Expended spell slots and Sorcery Points take a week to recharge.

You recover full amount of HD every long rest, but you must use one to benefit from healing spells, magic items, potions, and class abilities.Д¬hanging what the length of time is for a 'rest' just to tweak healing will have TONS of unintended side effects. Simulate 3e: As 2e, but give the PCs enough Wands of Cure Light Wounds that it really doesn't matter anymore and then use 5e's healing RAW. Long rests recover full hp, but last 2d4 days to recover. Simulate 2e: PCs can use 1 HD per short rest. Long rests (8 hours) allow you to use HD.

Simulate 1e/Basic: PCs cannot burn HD during short rests. (Note: not playtest, not responsible for TPKs). So here is my Official Remathilis healing rules. a set of general guidelines to adjusting the healing dial. There may be some other corrections and changes buried in the text, but I havenвЂ™t given it a thorough lookover.Having seen the preview of the 'healing section' covered up in the alien tech preview and realizing its probably 3-4 paragraphs, I really don't expect a complicated set of rules vs.

This is a neat, simple way to limit the number of items a character can use, though IвЂ™m sure the full DMG will changeВ it (when itвЂ™s released in a couple of months).ДЄnd for whatвЂ™s it worth, the new version of the PlayerвЂ™s PDF just seems to add Forgotten Realms deities and factions. Some items require attunement to use (such as Gauntlets of Ogre Power, for example), and a character can onlyВ use 3 attuned items at a time.

Definitely not happy about that, but itвЂ™s something easy to change with a house rule. This is a neat way to represent the awesome power of a powerful dragon, like Smaug.ДЄccording to the basic rules, characters can now вЂautoвЂ™ detect magic items, and determine how they work with just a short rest. For example, an Adult Red Dragon can make a wing attack after another character completes an action likewise, the dragon can use special вЂLairвЂ™ actions while in its lair, such as magma eruptions or clouds of noxious gas (while the gameВ expresses this as an action taken by the dragon, it is perhaps better to think ofВ them as environmental effects of the dragonвЂ™s preferred habitat). These are additional actions the monster can take under certain circumstances. One neat thing, certain powerful monsters can have Legendary actions and Lair actions. Between the two PDFs you ought to be able to run a вЂbasicвЂ™ game of 5e now. ThereвЂ™s also a few pages on building encounters, though no guidance on how much treasure to give. It weighs in at about 60 pages, and contains a decent selection of monsters, some common NPCs (thankfully in a separate section, so they arenвЂ™t mixed in with the monsters) and a few magic items. I gave the new Basic DMG PDF a quick look through.
