I was playing tomb of annihilation and we had arrived in Omu. My character died in one of the early encounters there so I decided to make a more unique character. He a ghost, a revenant of an ancient Chultish warrior who was incarnated into a physical body.
His sole purpose?
To kill all yuan...
I agree with this, but I don't think it makes the system unworkable. I think if the exhaustion mechanic is removed and vitality points are left in, it functions fine.
