[QUOTE="Anguish, post: 5802259, member: 27032"] Here's a question... are you planning on having your bad guys have various realistic amounts of residual damage when you stat them out or is it just your PCs that get screwed? I get what you're trying to do, and it's a reasonably elegant and original way of handling it. The problem is that it logically should apply to every creature. Any bad guys who haven't had the opportunity, inclination, or good sense to get some proper rest should be encountered with a pool of residual damage. Yay. Balancing becomes that much more work for the DM. You never know if your PCs are going to be at full capability. They might be optimal while encountering bad guys who are badly battered. Ooops, cakewalk. Or they might be badly battered but feel the pressure to move on before a bad guy (who is well-rested) "gets away". Oooops, potential TPK. Just some thoughts for you. Good luck.
