I got ridiculously frustrated with many of the arguments from yesterday. Now people get clarification as to what is a long battle:
- Avoid making random battles take too many turns to finish.
There. That's all I should need to explain. Long, tedious battles take many turns to finish, and if turns take a long time to come around, that only makes it worse.
This is NOT assuming you are trying to break the mold.

Buut, you can still also lower the encounter rate so that there are only let's say 5 encounters per dungeon and then it's okay if they take many turns to finish as long as they aren't just about smashing space.

If you can break the rules and do it right without making the game less fun, that's fine. My suggestion is for people trying to do it normally.

Man... for a thread titled "QUICK newbie question," this has gotten a bit drawn out. It's like I entered a dungeon and got to the "prize" at the end with little resistence, in this case: the answer to my initial question. But when I turned around and started to make my way back out of the dungeon, I was hit with a tedious random encouner every step of the way, in this case: RYA!

It's more like, you went into the dungeon, got the treasure you were looking for and when you tried to exit the dungeon there was a guy named Rya who said "Hey, but there are more treasure chests in there, go back!".
