I think anyone that never takes a break is headed for a mental or physical breakdown. So I came up with a little system to try to force some level of rest on the PCs.Long-Term Fatigue System(Very rough)Every day you do something physically stressful, you make a CON check versus a DC.  The base DC is 0.  Each consecutive day it increases by 1.  If you fail, you gain a physical long-term fatigue point (PLTFP).Physically stressful activities include anything that requires a physical skill check, anything that inflicts real or subdual damage, anything that requires a CON check, or a full day’s movement or other activity.If the day is particularly stressful (digging a tunnel for 12 hours a day), the DM may call for multiple checks in a single day.Each day of physical rest removes a PLTFP.  A heal spell removes 1 PLTFP per caster level (max 20).If you have any PLTFPs you take a -1 on all physical actions. Basically any d20 roll that is modified by STR, DEX, or CON modifiers.  If you have more than 10, PLTFPs, you take a -2.  If you have more than 100, you take -4.Mental Stress.Every day you do something mentally stressful, you make a WIS check versus a DC.  The base DC is 0.  Each consecutive day it increases by 1.  If you fail, you gain a mental long-term fatigue point.Mentally stressful activities include anything that would require a mental skill check, anything that would require a concentration check, or any in depth research or information gathering.If the day is particularly mentally stressful, the DM may call for multiple checks in a single day.Each day of mental rest removes a MLTFP.  A restoration spell removes 1 MLTFP; a greater restoration spell removes all MLTFP.If you have any MLTFPs you take a -1 on all mental actions. Basically any d20 roll that is modified by INT, WIS, or CHA modifiers.  In addition, the DCs of any special abilities or spells is reduced by -1.  If you have more than 10, PLTFPs, you take a -2.  If you have more than 100, you take -4.</blockquote>
