[QUOTE="FrogReaver, post: 7527208, member: 6795602"] But you didn't solve whack-a-mole. Everything you are saying reveals the truth of the matter. The fact is either characters commonly drop to 0 hp, in which case they can get whack-a-mole back up (assuming there are any healing resources left), or they don't commonly drop to 0 hp. In the case where they commonly drop to 0 then whack a mole still exists because they will be using healing spells to bounce back on their feet. In the other case where PC's rarely get challenged enough to get knocked down to 0 hp, that means their healing resources aren't being drained, which means they never reach the point where whack-a-mole cannot occur. Pretty much the only way to prevent whack-a-mole is by not having PC's drop to 0 hp very often and it sounds to me like that is mostly what your 6 pretty easy encounters a day is actually doing, even though you don't want to admit that's what is going on for whatever reason...
