[QUOTE="Kordeth, post: 4305443, member: 5036"] Unless otherwise specified, all effects have a duration of "till the end of the encounter." Once the encounter ends, the fire is put out automatically. Correct. You'd need a paladin to lay on hands (using one of his own surges) or the cleric would need to cast [i]cure light wounds[/i] or one of its higher-level variants. Why did the man have no healing surges? NPCs have very few ways to spend them (only PCs can use second wind), so unless he was beaten up, healed by a wandering cleric, and then beaten up [i]again[/i], he should have had his healing surge still. This is really an encounter design thing, not a rules thing: if you want the PCs to be able to heal the wounded man when they come across him, make sure he has a healing surge. Presumably you wouldn't be rolling his death save for every single 6 seconds of game time that elapsed between his injury and when the PCs found him, so why would you stick him in there with no healing surge?
