[QUOTE="I'm A Banana, post: 5967675, member: 2067"] It's not necessarily about creating circumstances where the player's can't rest, though that is an element of it (an element that reinforces ideas of "safe havens" and of dangerous wilderness). It's mostly about ensuring that resting [B]has a consequence[/B].
