Is there any penalty to dropping in on your camp?

just wondering, i'm not talking about long rest, i'm just talking about going to camp and swapping out injured teammates for fresh ones, or grabbing stuff from storage

No there isn't any penalty for it. You can have all your bench warmers be clerics and heal up your party. Tons of ways to abuse the camp and resting. Game economy is busted and makes the game super easy if you choose to abuse resting and rotating subs in and out.

Yeah, it's super broken. You can use it to get an edge in fights. If you beat a group and no longer in combat then you can just full rest and regain all your spell/action points and go back exactly where you left off

Nere is going to die if you go to camp more than once, while he's waiting to be rescued.
(But I haven't tested this extensively.)

There are supposedly some quests that can end up failing if you go to camp too often, but those should be obvious. For example: if you come across someone that is in mortal danger and then decide to go to camp, the game might kill them. But if you haven't come across them yet or didn't even get to that spot it might not be an issue.

Well sure, you can make the game that easy if you just abuse things, but at that point you might as well just lower the difficulty level because that's effectively what you're doing - just taking longer and requiring more planning to get the same effect.

You can also miss some companion in the beginning of the game if you long rest without saving them

How can you full rest in you don’t have food? You need to have some food to full rest

Some story events will advance if you leave the area, including if you go to camp and then come back.
The solution to this is to ungroup your party and leave one person behind while the other 3 can go to camp.

You can rest without food, known as Partial Rest when ending the day. In fact you can go through the entire game without ever fully resting.

I might use this when Trying to free nere, he died on my first run without me even doing anything since i didn't know it would progress while i was in camp. looking back it makes total sense lol
