ToME: the Tales of Maj'Eyal

My resting got stopped - which it often does, with talent cooldowns - so I hit 'r' again. It had actually been an orc grand master assassin attacking me. I died to it before I even realized it was there. This could've been prevented if 'r' only attempted to rest if conditions permit a >1 turn rest, and as there's already a 'wait one turn' key, no functionality would be lost.

Yeah, you definetely should NOT be allowed to 'rest' one turn with enemies in sight/around. Had this happen to me at least once

There's a logical breakdown here, though. The game doesn't really know whether or not it will rest for one turn until it gets interrupted after processing that turn.

Perhaps threatening interruptions to resting should, as an option, require a non-standard keypress to clear and allow other actions. I think that's a common feature in many roguelikes.

Nah, it would be easy enough to call "restCheck" before any resting takes place. Alternatively, one could check for visible enemies as is done for auto-explore.

Fixed HOW?

Not being able to rest at all with enemies in sight would be bad for me as i have no numpad (without the FN key, anyway), which makes passing a turn really awkward now that you cannot simply walk into a wall any more.

Why do you need a numpad ? You can bind the spend a turn key to any key you wish

I'd recommend shift+r, forces you to use an extra key so you don't press it on accident.
