[QUOTE="Lanefan, post: 5875477, member: 29398"] And this (in any edition of D&D) is a bug, not a feature. Magical curing gets around the recovery time - given enough spells, wounds close, tendons heal, etc. Going from memory, I think in 1e you naturally rest back something like 1 h.p. a week, slightly more if you're in a comfy bed in town. The answer, which works fine in other systems but for some reason never makes it into D&D, is some sort of vitality (fatigue)/wound (body) point system for hit points. Fatigue points are the nicks, scratches, fatigue, luck etc. that are relatively easy to patch up via various means. Body points are real physical damage, harder to cure and very hard to rest back naturally. Very true, and this is one of the things that wrecks it for me as a system I would want to play. From all I can tell I suspect I am not alone in this view. Lan-"the game needs some natural h.p. recovery, but not that much"-efan [/QUOTE]
