[QUOTE="Jfdlsjfd, post: 9767222, member: 42856"] There would need to be a strong buy-in from the players. I don't think my example about reckless players would only happens when they intentionally try to "break the system". It's like retirement. If you have enough fund to live 5 years comfortably, then you shouldn't retire... only to discover that you'll live for 20 years afterwards. People misestimate their lifespan, and they might just misestimate their character gamespan: if they expect the game to last for 10 sessions, they will be ok with losing 100 HP per night, and be unhappy when they all discover that the game is actually enjoyable for 30 sessions... at which point they'll have replaced their original characters with newer ones, each coming with their 1000 HP allotment, and adopted a similar burn rate as the rest of the group. So you might end up playing a superhero game than D&D already is, without any ill intent from the players. [/QUOTE]
