The only time they will reset is when they achieve (1).EDIT: I should say (2) and (3) are out in the open and known to the players.I'm not sure I understand you here in terms of mainstay.But to explain our full system once they accept the disadvantage, they gain an Inspiration point AFTER the check. Once they utilise the Inspiration point they gain the 1 XP.You are right in this limitation with std D&D, but I do try insert new/borrowed game mechanics for specific situations if I find them interesting and fun and believe the table would too and should they work for the situation.We've borrowed flashbacks from BitD for a overland journey and the players enjoyed that mechanic.We've borrowed from DW's Ritual for the Wizard class to set up a removal of a PC's mental affliction....etcReframings is not something I have explored but I'm keen to try it out. Thanks for the tip.</blockquote>
