[QUOTE="Lanefan, post: 7923596, member: 29398"] But that doesn't matter: between existing h.p. and available spells there's still only so many h.p. to go around; and once the spells are depleted for the day (or if your party doesn't have a healer!) the resource becomes a) finite and b) hard to recover. When 4e-5e allow complete overnight h.p. and ability recovery by RAW, long-term attrition doesn't look very feasible. Yep, and some other options in various editions which more or less amount to the same thing. Point taken, but we have to work with what we have; and comparing the various editions of D&D to each other is far more apples-to-apples than comparing any version of D&D to reality, at least when it comes to toughness and resilience. I think this might make me the first person in history to be accused of promoting a 0e-v-4e edition war! :) [/QUOTE]
