And the next one harder still, since more resources will need to spent to defeat the harder battle. Eventually you will reach the point that the fight becomes impossible. Death spiral is will always happen eventually.So they cannot run away from a monster, so they die.So the monster takes one more round to die. And the party dies.Anything that reduces effectiveness means the subsequent battle is going to consume more resources. If, due to simple bad luck, an early fight leads to a permanent injury, the party won't survive the final challenge. Or the difficulty was set so low that there was never any real challenge in the first place.</blockquote>
