Message: <blockquote data-quote="SlagMortar" data-source="post: 4277772" data-attributes="member: 24821">For those saying Sunburst is not that effective as an infinite healing mechanism:  -- I would say healing the party to full in 1 hour is a big deal.For those saying the DM can tell the player not to do it: -- That's true, but wouldn't it be better if the DM didn't have to?  And what if the DM doesn't think of that and then throws out the idea of ever using encounters to wear down the PCs?  Is there an advantage to having powers that heal without healing surges?  If these healing powers are not intended for use outside of combat, why not have those powers grant temporary hit points instead?  (btw, do temporary hit points go away at the end of encounters now, or how are they handled?)For those saying epic characters should be allowed infinite healing -- I agree that making hit points an entirely per encounter resource isn't that big a deal.  3E wands of cure light wounds basically already did it and it didn't really break anything.  (aside: I suppose that could be because most parties rested after blowing their big spells so hit points were never the limiting factor.)  Also, having healing surges per day for heroic and paragon tiers and then per encounter for epic tiers would help make the epic tier 'feel' much different from the previous tiers.  However, assuming the healing surges are supposed to be a per day resource at all tiers, it seems silly to include any powers that break that.</blockquote>
