That way, you can track damage to arms, feet, legs, hand, chest, head, etc... But my problem with that is that then you'd have to track nerve damage, rule out when shields/ weapons couldn't be used, etc... It's too much bookkeeping to do all the time. To me, that is why you have to suspend some measure of disbelief. After all, it's a fantasy game.I find [MENTION=98008]Unwise[/MENTION]'s descriptions above to be perfect narrations of how martial healing works. If you can't buy what Unwise wrote up there, martial healing ain't for you- forget it and move on. Warlords and Bards are not supposed to be like "any other creature behind a bush." When they scream a rallying cry or play a melody, it is supposed to be so well-delivered and perfectly timed and convincing that there is something supernatural about it. This lenables the comrade to forget about their wounds for the moment, to remember some training at the prime moment, to simply find that last inner burst to carry them through the fight. Martial healing can be incredibly cinematic at key times, and the rewarding, thought-provoking RP aspect of it can take the monotony out of encounter grind.</blockquote>
