Message: <blockquote data-quote="Guest&nbsp; 85555" data-source="post: 5875483">i was talking about all pre 4 games in general. Even in 3e it depends on the character's total hp and level. A week was quite common but a fifth level barbarian with max hp will take longer than a week. AD&D could easily take longer as well (which is why we said up to 1-3 weeks). And yes, my problem with 1 day or less is it is not long enough to satisfy any level of realism for me. A week or more at least gives me the feel of a more real natural healing. Taking a few moments to heal naturally is even worse IMO. i find moments to a day highly disruptive to disbelief (i went to bed hacked up but am fine in the morning). A week or more seems much more reasonable (even if it isn't 100% realistic--it at least rests in a mid zone that is far less disruptive to me). I really don't think this is a very difficult position to appreciate even if one doesn't accept it (just as i can appreciate pemertons point of view though i dont share his conclusion---and i dont need ask questions in order to deconstruct his stance).I would like to point put, this discussion has happened so much i find it hard to believe anyone is genuinely mystified by this position (i am certainly not mystified by the 4e position).</blockquote>
