Sorry!"I would have less of a problem with the mechanic if it was harder to get a character from the state of being knocked down and unconscious to back on his feet and kickin'.The playtest document states that you have to have at least 1 hit point to take any rest, long or short. A healer's kit won't help to give the character that one hit point since it only stabilizes the unconscious. However - as per the playtest's RAW - If you don't apply magical healing to a stabilized character, he will get 1 hp after 2d6 hours. This is where Mearl's explanation of hit points and the rules don't fit together nicely, since characters self-regenerate a severe wound by themselves after 2d6 hours of lying on the ground.So, my proposal: Get rid of this 2d6-hours rule. Instead, make it MUCH harder for a character to get to that 1 hp with mere mundane means, as this simulates the treatment of a severe wound. It could be something like a DC 15 heal (Wisdom) check + the use of a Healer's Kit + 2d6 hours of rest. If the check fails, repeat.Then, when the character is back on his feet again, he merely needs to recover from the exhausting treatment and trauma -> he gets complete recovery of hp's and HD after the next complete rest.What do you think?"</blockquote>
