From your posts you/your group seem (correct me if I’m wrong, it is very difficult to get a sense of these things through internet posts ) to want to do the following:1. Go to a room. Kill monsters in the room.2. Decide which room to go to next.3. RepeatBut what happens is:1. Go to a room. Kill monsters in the room.2. Have to rest up to full health to be able to take on the next room. GM wonders why don’t the monsters in the next room simple come out and attack them while their resting?3. Finally healed decide which room to go to next.4. Repeat from step one.While others, such as my group, play more “old school” - heavily focused on resolving encounters using non-combat or clever means, retreating if necessary and the like. And I can totally see why you get annoyed with the healing system (if you are indeed playing as previously described) it is an interruption to the game flow. To me on the other hand, it is what enables the game flow - healing is slow or uses resources, so lets do everything we can to bypass/negate encounters, or at least stack the odds in our favor, so that we can avoid wasting time or resources healing (which is why time pressure is good for me because it leans into that and it removes certain options that the players would otherwise take that could negate most of the challenges of the dungeon).Okay. I got so curious/worried that I cracked open the first part of Age of Ashes (the AP I am least interested in playing) and, keeping in mind that different adventures are written by different people:the dungeon absolutely is written to be compatible with my groups playstyle. [spoiler]There are listed means to bypass many encounters, creatures in one part of the dungeon that give you information on other parts of the dungeon, creatures you can turn to your side or trick into attacking other creatures, there is (mild) time pressure, etc. [/spoiler]</blockquote>
