An idea

[Hile]

Man, I started out in MMORG's playing Everquest. If you died there, you return to your bind spot with NOTHING and you lost a good chunk of experience! You were naked basically. Your corpse with all your stuff that was on you was where you died. If you died in a bad spot, you were in huge trouble if you didn't have the right friends. If you failed to get to your corpse after a few days, the corpse rotted and all your stuff that was on it right with it.

Not saying this game should go to that extreme. But really that compared to momentary stat loss is nothing. I do like it I can explore regions without much fear. In Everquest, I didn't dare go anywhere "just to explore" if I didn't know exactly what I was getting into.

I found its better to just play as normal when groggy. Ease off the tougher creatures for a bit. The grogginess clears faster when you're doing something than just sitting there.
