Taking 4 rounds to revive is equivalent to sitting most (if not all!) of a 5e combat on the benches anyway, and would absolutely be a waste of a spell. I'm not at all a pro-caster kind of guy, but this makes in-combat healing of the incapacitated worthless, which I don't think is a good plan.Makes me wish they hadn't gotten rid of Healing Surges...Edit:I basically see the "speed it up" mechanic as just saying that only "serious" magic whack-a-mole healing works. Since 5e spells can always be upcast, it just sets the bar higher than 1.</blockquote>
