Message: <blockquote data-quote="Ruin Explorer" data-source="post: 8813394" data-attributes="member: 18">I don't think that's even a remotely justifiable claim in 5E.There are people out there running all-martial campaigns, and they're not having big problems because of HD-based healing and Short Rests. Hell, there are groups in other campaigns who access to magical healing, but use it very little, because of HD-based healing. Healing inside combat, aside from to "yo-yo" people is extremely ineffective in 5E until you get to the point where you can cast Heal, because it's very difficult to deliver enough healing to a PC to "keep them up" in 5E, as monsters do extremely large amounts of damage relative to HP - most "appropriate-level" heals before Heal only give back enough to add 1 hit from a typical level-appropriate monster (which often has multiple attacks), which is often worse, tactically, than just attacking or using the same spell slot to debuff, summon, nuke, etc. This has been discussed and math'd out at some length previous.As a result most magical healing in 5E (specifically) is post-combat (again until you get Heal).I'm not saying "Dragonlance needs to not have Clerics!" or the like, I think Clerics are fine, just come up with some excuse, but that's a really strange and extreme claim.</blockquote>
