In practice, it just shortens the length of time needed for PCs to be back up and attacking your dungeon.No version of DnD simulates injury and healing very well, I think we can all agree, but 4E goes even further down this road ... or, at least, further than a lot of people have considered going before. But the rule helps keep the game moving. That's why it's there. It's not there to aid in simulation because, as WotC has said themselves, 4E is moving away from the simulation colored side of the grid and is in the Gamist side of the grid. Not completely, of course, but enough for balance and gameplay to come before simulation on the priority list.Which is fine by me. I can think of enough light justification for all of the rules we've seen, and that's all my group or I have ever wanted. One sentence of description and it's settled.</blockquote>
