I've already responded to GX.Sigma. But let me illustrate in some more detail to JC here:The problem here though is that X encounters are never really dangerous.  X is the number of encounters you can have before you run out of between encounter healing.  What incentive is there to do X+1 encounters?  Only that X+1 encounter is actually threatening in any real sense.  So, we're right back to the 15 minute adventuring day where as soon as your healer is out of healing juice, you stop for the day unless there is some time dependent issue in game (which means that in order to make this work, you need to make virtually every adventure time dependent.)</blockquote>
