[QUOTE="Neonchameleon, post: 8036000, member: 87792"] That's basically the 4e "Second Wind" rule - as a standard action someone can spend a healing surge to regain a quarter of their hit points, and can't do again until after a short rest. The 4e Healing Surge mechanic is basically the 5e Hit Dice mechanic except you get reserve hit points roughly equal to twice your base hp rather than almost your base hp, and most "healing" is expected to come out of this pool of the character's own reserves rather than out of the cleric's healing spells. Actual magical healing (as requested by [USER=6750235]@Ashrym[/USER] in the comment you were replying to) in 4e is healing that does not involve spending a healing surge (or hit dice); there is the separation of healing powers from unlocking your internal reserves. It's just magical healing in 4e is rare rather than something every single first level cleric can do and something every party comes equipped with. [/QUOTE]
