They get you up and going at the click of some fingers. But yet again, people like you seem to misunderstand the entire concept of hit points.Here's a very basic sentence to convey what seems to be a very difficult to understand concept: the ONLY time when your character is close to death is when they're at or below 0 hit points and they're rolling Death Saving throws with a very small risk of losing more hit points and dying at minus Con + Level. EVERY other instance of damage is INSIGNIFICANT.I can understand not LIKING that concept but what I can't grasp is how people can't GRASP that concept. People arguing against 'rapid healing' seem caught up in this notion that ALL damage is SIGNIFICANT damage when it simply isn't. Getting 'hit', doesn't mean you've got a gaping wound in your chest and you're spurting blood twenty feet into the air. Hell, it doesn't even mean that when your character's Constitution plus Level equals 20 and your character is at -19 hit points. When you're at -20 hit points, THAT is when your character's guts are strewn about the floor or their pectoral artery is spraying the roof with their blood. Until then, just about every injury is basically insignificant.</blockquote>
