[QUOTE="Hussar, post: 6325104, member: 22779"] Note, just for clarity, this is actually untrue. 3e is unique in claiming "core" rules. Earlier D&D certainly did not claim this and the editions were addititive. If it was officially from TSR, then it was official rules, end of story. There was no "core". As such, Emerikol, it might be helpful to remember that us 4e people, at least on En World, probably played every edition, and probably played every edition for hundreds of hours. We tend to be an old lot. So, trying to rewrite history isn't going to get you that far. You'd be much better off simply sticking to your own personal experiences. Now, I did mention this in the other thread, but it bears repeating here. Every edition of D&D has supported martial healing. Monks could heal themselves in 1e, without any magic. In 2e, with the Healing Proficiency (which is in the 2e PHB), you can heal an ally for d4+1 HP, so long as you perform the check within a certain amount of time after combat. The text of the Heal check specifically mentions bandaging people up as returning HP immediately. 3e doubled your healing rate with a complete rest and a Heal check - 4 HP/Level/day. So, essentially, with a heal check, most characters could heal completely in one day. Again, absolutely no magic involved. So, claims that earlier editions did not support non-magical healing are easily shown to be false. [/QUOTE]
