However, nobody knows about it because it is only implemented in the seldom used Chase rules in the DMG.I think the concept of temporary exhaustion adds a useful tool to the game, and allows for distinguishing between fatigue and long term debilitation. I wouldn't be surprised if it was originally intended to be used more wildly (Berserker Frenzy maybe?), but at some late stage in design was removed and only left as a remnant in the Chase rules.I bring it up because (other than just wanting to make that little known rule better known) it can potentially be used as a penalty for dropping to zero hp that can affect battles and pacing without the harsh penalty of long-term debilitation.</blockquote>
