A quick example may be because the players actively sought out comfortable lodging and rest they regain all their HP overnight. Another example might be they players chose not to bring along camping equipment and bedrooms and they ground was wet and uncomfortable so they don't recover any HP that night. Roleplaying is organic and evolves at the table it doesn't need to be reflected in the rules and is often ignored or changed when it is. Let the choices players make become the rules for that moment. All you need is a core set of rules and your imagination. It's the appeal of older editions, which didn't always provide the detailed ruleset that has evolved in the game. Now like I said, I'm not arguing for this just simply stating that it's a valid play option within older editions (and even the last couple) and no more less valid because it has caused issues in some people's games, just as things like healing surges have. Sometimes no rules are more effective than hard coded rules. I'm not sure if that answered your question or not. It really only applies to the core rules and not modules and additional components of the game. I much prefer Mike's last weeks comment that the only core healing would be magical. Again, we can disagree and I'm okay with that.</blockquote>
