Maybe the best way to handle is to avoid describing any blow as physical unless- it causes you to become blooded- drops you below 0 hit points. - no way you can get a healing surge again. (Maybe there is a daily limit, I don't know.From what I know, what can't happen is that you can be healed back to 100 %. I thought it could usually only be triggered if below 50 %, and doesn't heal more than 1/4 of your normal hp. But I might be wrong on that. I have only limited experience due to reading through Saga, but haven't played with any of it yet.I thought it was more the direction of fluff goes into the rules. You don't just get the "Modify Spell Area" feat, you become a "Golden Wyvern Adept". <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />Maybe they were actually going both ways, and it turns out that many people don't like either one direction or the other, or both. Personally, I think it's nice if rules have a (possible) fluff explaination, and I also like it if the fluff of a game is found in its rules again. If I am playing a LotR game, I don't want my Wizard to throw a fireball. If Fighters can learn how to disarm enemies better, it's nice if there is a "martial school" in the setting that teaches it. If a game uses hit points scaling with level, I want a kind of in-game explaination how I can explain damage or healing. In all cases, I'd prefer if the fluff-explainations aren't to narrow (not "you must have gone to the Montoya Fighting College for 1 year before you can learn Ambidexterity." "You must be a Cleric to even have a chance of healing hit points!"</blockquote>
