[QUOTE="Charlaquin, post: 8690171, member: 6779196"] The thing is, the critiques I’ve seen of the exhaustion at 0 HP house rule have all been exactly the reasons one would [I]want[/I] such a house rule. Yes, it makes falling to 0 very likely to result in the character dying. Yes, it basically forces the party to retreat to a safe location to rest, possibly for several days. Those are exactly the reasons people are proposing the house rule in the first place. Those are gameplay dynamics those people [I]want[/I] in their games. It seems to me like it does exactly what the people who are considering it want it to do, without a lot of unwanted side-effects. That actually makes it a pretty great house rule… [I]if[/I] you want that kind of gameplay. And not everyone does, and that’s fine. For those people, the default rules serve just fine. Depends on what you and your table want. But, yes, house rules can and do have side-effects, and they’re worth taking into consideration. For sure! That’s also a legitimate option, if the things you would want to change are that many and that significant. [/QUOTE]
