I see people assert over and over "no previous edition..." as if 4E healing is exactly in line with what came before. For many people (probably most people) it didn't at all match how damage or healing was handled in the past. No one is suggesring older editions penalized you for wounds (aside from walking around with fewer HP) or dealt with specific types of blows, but it did accomodate the notion that damage was physical and this is why mundane healing took so long (up to a week or more may not accurately model all physical wounds--though it spdoes model many--but it certainoy doesn't model being winded or tired from battle). There is a reason people took issue with healing surges.I am not asking for impaling rules or hit location, but i am asking that my guy who got trashed with an orc's axe can't just walk it off in minutes to a day. I agree that blow isn't all physical damage, but you cant just ignore the physical damage aspect of HP like 4E does and expect everyone to be happy, then tell them they are just doing it wrong or don't understand when they complain. It might not trouble you, and that is fine, but it absolutely bothers me.</blockquote>
