[QUOTE="Leatherhead, post: 5896478, member: 53176"] I feel this is a huge misrepresentation of healing surges. Healing Surges are used for far more than just healing. They are used to ramp up powers, charge magic items, and fuel rituals. "Surge Value" can easily be separated from the healing surge, it's just a percentage of the players HP. That said, I hate them. They are an unnecessary fiddly bit in a sea of fiddly bits. They also don't do quite what they are intended to do (pace out the day), partly because you can use them for non-healing purposes, and partly because the game was designed for everyone in the party to use them. That causes the group to be tied down to the person with the least surges, or to pile up damage on one person to the point where their surges aren't going to last as long as they should, which makes the workday far shorter than it should have been.
