Gez, huh? How much of a threat to a mage is a wights E drain? The fighter is the one getting into melee, the mage is the one 25' back lobbing spells. Yes, this may be good news to the fighter, but it doesn't really effect the mage types much at all.

what?? that is not a bad thing, it is an awesome thing. There SHOULD be things out there that take days to recover from. IT adds tension and immersion to the game. I don't want it to be like a video game, where all you need to do is push the "rest" button and all is well again. From your description, it only took one day to get the rest back, that doesn't sound that bad. Heck, we do that just for hit points sometimes. I think many encounters should have a longer term effect on the party, make you feel like you did something. Makes the next encounter a concern, even if it would normally be too easy.Anything that can mess up a party for several days is a bit powerful in my mind.
