[QUOTE="Charlaquin, post: 7901648, member: 6779196"] That’s precisely what makes the decision to rest an interesting one, though. If it’s guaranteed to be safe or guaranteed not to be, there’s no real decision to be made, you just rest when it’s safe and don’t when it’s not. But when resting carries both a risk of danger and a possibility of safety, it becomes a gamble. And sometimes gambles pay off, that’s the nature of it. I think not allowing the players the chance for that payoff cheapens the decision. A 30% chance once a day and once a night? I would consider that really low, and I’m not surprised your players would want to rest whenever they have the opportunity. Sure, but like... That sounds to me like a scenario where taking a long rest when your resources are low would be a pretty effective strategy. If you don’t want it to be, I think modifying the parameters to make it a bigger risk would be a more satisfying (for your players) solution than simply posting monsters that are too tough for them outside the dungeon, and will have the added benefit of not putting you in a situation where the players absolutely need a rest but absolutely can’t get one.
