No Mandatory Dungeon Rest Cadence

Overview

This rule drops the automatic rest tax and lets pace be driven by fictional pressures, logistics, and player risk tolerance.

Procedure

1. Do not enforce fixed rest every fifth dungeon turn.
2. Track fatigue and setbacks through fiction, burden, attrition, and referee calls.
3. Allow parties to press deeper at rising risk.

Effects

• Faster delving cadence.
• More agency in push-your-luck decisions.
• Higher chance of overextension if parties ignore warning signs.
