As such, the considerable likelihood is that the guts across the floor injured character will die rather than get the opportunity to heal naturally in a handful of days as I described above.I agree it is more feasible in earlier editions. In our 4e games, most of the time character's will use their own resources to recover. It is quite possible in fact that that is exactly what at least one character will do after a nasty combat, even with access to a cleric (who can only look after a couple of patients at a time). As such, any guts across the floor description is going to be quickly found out as ridiculous.The most perilous 4e situation is when you have a character with no healing surges left and they're waiting for someone to stabilise them. Even then, because of either a warlord or other mundane assistance, the chance of the guts across the floor being compromised is still there and possibly more so than 3e because of the general standard of healing surge recuperation.Best RegardsHerremann the Wise</blockquote>
