[QUOTE="FireLance, post: 5870647, member: 3424"] I'm pretty sure that they won't be in the core, although they might be in the core [I]books[/I] as an optional module. However, I'm fairly sure that even the suggestion that non-magical healing and self-healing will exist as an option in 5e, and could be used by DMs and players who want them, will be enough to send some posters into frothing heights of rage. Now, all I need is some popcorn. EDIT: Just to add, I see "I'm down to 2 hp, I'm almost dead!" as "I'm really tired, I won't be able to dodge the next solid hit, and it will kill me" and "I'm down 4 surges, which sucks, but I've got at least 2 more where that came from" as "I'm really pushing myself, now. I've got a bit more in me, but not much more". The more usual criticism of non-magical healing is the idea that you could be dying from a presumably serious injury and then be back on your feet again after a short rest, but even that can be narrated as "I nearly died! And even though I've been bandaged up, it still hurts like the baatezu. But I can't stop now. They're all depending on me. I've got got keep going." I know it doesn't work for all people, but it certainly does work for some. (And these will be ones who will use it in 5e, anyway.) [/QUOTE]
