After all, we have combat medics in real life.), there are also rules for using it out of combat (specifically to treat diseases over an extended period of time). And, of course, you're going out of your way to ignore that, just as you're going out of your way to ignore all of the other non-combat skills that have already been specifically mentioned. Your initial claim was, and I quote: Clearly, the game does have "out of combat mechanics" — and, yes, you can ignore them all that you like, but that doesn't mean that they do not exist. Again, there's a whole chapter devoted to them. 13 pages. Right there on pages 176 to 189 of the PHB. Again, I have no problem with somebody disliking 4e (you'll note that I, myself, have never played it), but watching them invent reasons to dislike it is incredibly irritating.</blockquote>
