[QUOTE="Raven Crowking, post: 4468171, member: 18280"] (1) I beg to differ about whether those cuts and bruises directly affect his ability to avoid a killing stroke. I assume that you have never been seriously injured, or in a fight. I spent 4 years in the US Army, and I can say with some degree of certainty that your injuries do directly affect your combat readiness. (2) If those cuts and bruises don't directly affect his ability to avoid a killing stroke, why does healing those cuts and bruises (by magic, for example) raise his hit points? Shouldn't cure spells be merely descriptive? (3) What if the healing surge healed all damage he had taken? What happend to those cuts and bruises then? Or do the all manner of cuts and bruises we described earlier not map to hit points at all in this edition? And if they do not, why did we describe them earlier? Again, Schrödinger's Arguement to explain Schrödinger's Wounding. Within the context of the game itself, yes. Within the context of narrating in-world events, no. RC [/QUOTE]
