Please stop just quoting the rules. We know those are the rules as written. There is a reason why "homebrew" is in the title of the thread.
Sacrosanct believes the written rule creates a problem. Sacrosanct is proposing a house rule to solve the perceived problem. You could argue that the problem is not really a problem, or that the solution won't work, or what have you, but it adds nothing to the discussion to keep saying "But this is what it says in the book!"
I've done more than just quote the rules in this discussion and I will continue to do so to the extent it supports my argument.
[MENTION=12377]77IM[/MENTION] is correct. What is being proposed isn't a house rule anyway. It's just the DM establishing a meaningful consequence of failure. Understanding what the actual rules are reveals that.
