Some things are done with spells, and there are plenty of people who will argue that anything but the most basic ability, if there's a spell that does it, should not be available by other means than magic. So there are people who will argue that because there's a spell to restore hit points, it's not "fair" for someone to restore hit points quickly without magic. Medicine skill doesn't by default, cure poison or disease (despite that being something that humans can do), and I think one primary reason for that is that there's a spell that does it and the designers listened to the people who wanted "magic to be special". And this is part of the reason there are so many arguments about casters versus martials - martials don't even get things that are very possible IRL.</p></blockquote><p></p>
