I've got no problem even inventing new monsters and encounters that use this "one encounter per day" model, as long as I can get the balance right. I assumed there'd be a bunch of monster design house ruling, at least. I don't want to change much or anything on the players' side, really. I'm open to whatever works on the DM's side to accomplish the goal, but it wouldn't be a campaign-wide change, just a change in an individual encounter. Hmm...maybe link the daily use to spending surges to heal. "When you use a daily, you can also spend a healing surge." That might also keep the dailies fairly well spaced out in the encounter, so that the party won't use them until they need them.Well, it's more like:<ol> <li data-xf-list-type="ol"> I want the option to introduce a single encounter that sucks up ALL the party's resources in about an hour of table-time (about 5-7 rounds, I guess)</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol"> I want the option to NOT do that, too. In the same campaign. Without making the characters re-write their sheets.</li> </ol>That doesn't seem like it should be impossible.</blockquote>
