The arrow of time can hit you when you're ready to be hit - e.g at the conclusion of the adventure, or in any larger rest period within a "running" one. That's how it works in most stories. Jack Bauer is not indestructible, but his break-down comes at the end of the season, not during it. (Well, at least that's what happens in one season.) Maybe there is also a source of dissonance - I care more about the kind of stories I evoke then what might happen "realistically". Maybe that's the difference between "sim" and "narr"? I don't want the rules to dictate the flow of the story - I might want tools to manipulate the flow of it, but it's the DM and his groups decision when the party spends a week "off" to recover from broken limbs and gashing chest wounds.</blockquote>
