[QUOTE="Myrhdraak, post: 7030201, member: 6694190"] [B]HYBRID SOLUTION[/B] So I went to explore a Hybrid Solution. I looked at two major but yet simple changes: [LIST=1] [*][B]Healing Word:[/B] Healing Word heals a lot of damage, which is good in the Single Encounter scenario, as we get a game that works like 4th Edition during the tactical battles. However, if I want to run double or triple encounters before a Short Rest, the ability to use magical healing just becomes too much. So I went in and simulated a change. You do only regain the Healing Word power after a Short Rest, i.e. not after each Encounter. This put some limit to the ability to heal over multiple encounters, i.e. the players are mainly going to use encounter powers for this.
