[QUOTE="mhensley, post: 4107785, member: 1604"] One easy way to handle this without adding any new rules is purely with dm narrative. For example, the pc's spend several days on an adventure and go through many combats where although they may have lost a lot of hit points, they suffer no ill effects from them. Now that the adventure is over, the aches and pains of the last few days catch up with them and they'll need to rest for a few weeks in town before they're ready to hit the road again. After deducting some expenses from the party for their lodgings, the dm brings them up to date with any news that they have heard while they were resting and now they're good to go. Another way this can be done without disrupting play too much is to sideline a pc whose player couldn't make the session through the reason of injury. A wound from the previous week's game has become infected and the feverish pc needs to be taken to a healer. Or perhaps that ankle he twisted after falling in that pit trap has become swollen and he can no longer walk. He'll need to lay up somewhere safe for a while (until the player comes back). [/QUOTE]
