Message: <blockquote data-quote="tetrasodium" data-source="post: 9533594" data-attributes="member: 93670">I notice a common thread that I've seen in a lot of my 5e players, you seem to have a lot of deaths from bandits following a rest...  If a player were to relay experiences like that to me I would think it irresponsible on my point not to bring up logic once made clear in player facing rulebooks It's extremely uncommon for bandits to interrupt a rest when the party travels back to town or whatever in order to rest someplace safe (like a room at the local tavern/inn/whatever).  I can't say that I would expect to be trapped within your lodgings by bandits while attempting to flee either but could see a notable bandit presence if the party had already done that a few times in what should have been a single adventuring day.  This thread alone has a wide array of posts from folks lamenting the fact that 5e encourages players to ignore risk that should be taken  seriously & even some about how the GM adjusting the difficulty to influence that will often backfire to make perfectly mundane gameplay lethal simply by players refusing to adapt. The fact that 5e encourages players to double down on that with <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Dz65h6H5gM" target="_blank">a PoV</a> where an interrupted rest leads to a shrug with another rest starting up immediately or after a wait while blaming GMs for the results of not restricting those rests  is one of the system's most frustrating design choices.</blockquote>
