Message: <blockquote data-quote="Mengu" data-source="post: 5900584" data-attributes="member: 65726">I don't like in combat healing being a requirement, but as an optional element that does some very minor patch up work, I don't have a problem with it. I don't like the yo-yo effect of I'm full this round, I'm almost down next round, I'm full again, then I'm almost down again. It pretty much means a healer is required, and while the tension created is not a bad thing, it's artificial, when you know your healer's got your back.Between combats, I'd love to see some sort of wounding mechanism that carries over, but I want hit points to be filled up. In an adventure, you ideally want to use escalating threats, start out easy, and build up, provide an easy encounter to change up tempo a bit somewhere toward the end, and finish with a bang. There are other alternatives to tempo, but I think this is pretty typical. If you are depleted throughout the day, going into that last fight, the threats you can handle are lesser than what you could handle in the first fight. I think there should be injury (or exhaustion) involved difficulties going into the last fight, but since hit points are such a major resource, I would prefer if there weren't any major hindrances in that department.You could also perhaps build up "heroism" as you go. So the longer your adventuring day and the more wounds you accumulate, the deeper reserves of energy you can access, leading to that crescendo battle, but that would be a whole other discussion...</blockquote>
