[QUOTE="BryonD, post: 5706499, member: 957"] I still very strongly disagree with this. * Yes, it divests it from magical healing. But the "shut down" claim is a stretch. But they still heal and and every wound in a manner that has no analog to fiction, far less any kind of reality. Yes, in fiction they ignore wounds during dramatic moments. Ignore wounds and making them vanish forever are a far cry apart. And even when you run out of surges, they come back REALLY easy. So I don't think they even do very well as an "I"m out of reserves" feel. Frankly, just having a lot of hit points does that quite well. When characters are fresh they take more risks. when they start running low they start second guessing their choices, which seems to me to be exactly what you described. So we already have that, and without the no-story healing. Way back at the top of the thread Morrus pointed out that you now count surges more than HP and that is a key change. He was right about that. But simply counting surges to know when you are getting into the danger zone is really no different than looking at a low HP total. (I'm picturing Ultraman with a flashing light on his chest now) * - to be clear, if it works for you, awesome. But that doesn't make the failure of it to work for other needs go away. [/QUOTE]
