(optionally there in 3.5 with reserve points alt rule)5 Full hp healing with long rest for no days of downtime for spells or natural healing to do it. Focus on the action day, less downtime days accounting. Allowed retreat to safe spot then get back in the action.6 Healing surge limits for a maximum of per day healing resources.7 Healing surges varying by class role, so amount you can heal varies by role allowing defenders to be more tanks and pull more aggro.8 Flat hp advancement by class/role, 3e had it as an option, it was now core.</blockquote>
