[QUOTE="Emerikol, post: 6325199, member: 6698278"] For the record, I'm in favor of a proportional healing approach based upon the targets level. More than that might be more "realistic" but is probably not worth the bookkeeping. The stacking approach doesn't bother me and I'm sure I can come up with an explanation within the context of magic for why it works. It really is all about the feel and narrative of the game. I could live with the feel of old school D&D with 1hp recovery because it didn't jar the narrative that much. We mostly magically healed anyway almost no one waited it out. The narrative on natural healing is that it's slow because you are naturally healing. Is it exactly right? probably not but it's not in your face unacceptable. The guy shouting motivational help across the room is right there in your face breaking the narrative and the feel of the game. Not yours but mine of course. It all depends on the narrative and feel of your game. I don't expect either of us is going to have an epiphany on hit points. I'm not out to evangelize you to my interpretation. I'm mainly just wanting the best game for my playstyle. If not for big feats, I'm not sure 5e would really offer that much of an improvement for me anywhere else. I could probably add them to C&C and have the game I want if I had a list of them. [/QUOTE]
