For you as a professional stage actor, it is an interesting perspective to say that taking on a role and acting it out is not part of your particular group's style. You seem to be focusing more on the mechanical game. Our group on the other hand loves "acting" things out at the table; it forms an important immersive element of how we play. For our group healing surges work with the style of our 4e game even though for many in the group there are many strange looks when the use of healing surges produce conflicting narratives between what the DM is saying and what the mechanics are resulting in.On a different thread I have highlighted the central issues our group has with this (as well as potential solutions). If we get into the 4e mindset though, we can generally ignore the various issues with the ruleset.Best RegardsHerremann the Wise</blockquote>
