Of course, such a campaign is good for a short one-off rather than something for a DM to run every time. I’d say the same perhaps for the HP idea, since it requires so much bookkeeping (both literally and in terms of keeping players appraised of subjective conditions) on on the DM’s end.</blockquote>
