[QUOTE="Mistwell, post: 7543528, member: 2525"] Actions are absolutely a limited resource - particularly if you're unconscious and cannot even take an action but need that healing. Actions are so limited that Action Surge is a primary power for a fighter, to give them a second one in a round. For each round, it's highly limited. Your argument that you can take many actions over time is not logical relative to other things you can take many of over time also being limited. For example you can cast infinite spells given infinite amount of time. But, they have a limitation - in this case per day or per short rest depending on the spellcaster, and for actions you have a limitation of one per round. Either way, the limitation makes it a resource which is limited. As for the berries being part of the spell, so? The rest is part of the rope trick spell. As the rest is a requirement for the use of Hit Dice to heal, and the rope trick provides that element used to heal, that is similar to the berry being provided by the spell. In both instances you have to use a different limited resource to actually gain healing from the spell. For the berry you need an action to consume it - which will be a problem if you are not conscious or have no actions. For the rope trick you need hit dice spent to gain the healing - which will be a problem if you have no hit dice. [/QUOTE]
