[QUOTE="CapnZapp, post: 7781928, member: 12731"] The rule from Dominia targets the biggest rules hole still in D&D - that the players can always game the difficulty level by choosing more or less rests, essentially trivializing any challenge if they want to. They're given plenty tricks that negate every obstacle to resting except for one "you're running out of time". Any DM dead tired of that trope (not to mention how time crunches in 99% of official modules are illusory, hoaxes essentially) are sold out of luck. A rule that said "you can only rest every three encounters" or indeed you must loot at least X gold before retreating would instantly inject some real game challenge into D&D. Not every group should feel compelled to use such a rule, but official modules should be stocked with monsters and other challenges with it in mind. Oh well, maybe 6th edition. Or more likely, 9th.
