[QUOTE="Steel_Wind, post: 8825782, member: 20741"] The original Mass Combat rules for 1st Ed, "Battlesystem" was released initially as an adjunct to DragonLance's War of the Lance. DL8, [I]Dragons of War[/I] had its own rules for its war-game -- or it could be resolved ([I]allegedly[/I]) using Battlesystem. DL9, [I]Dragons of Deceit[/I], also came with counters to resolve the mass combat involving the Good and Evil Dragons. Even the title of the most recent DL novel, also titled [I]Dragons of Deceit[/I], points to the focus of this adventure: Solamnia and the War of the Lance. It seems pretty clear that WotC has looked very carefully at the elements of DL they could bring forward, and what elements of the setting they could leave for fans to go back into and use as much (or as little) of it as they like. Leaving the exact timeline as to when the events of SotDQ take place was also a wise choice, and likely leaves that as the "solution" to divine healing magic. If the DM cares, the tools are there to explain it. If they don't, then hand-wave it. I guess the part which is most germane to 5e players, how they handle the absence/return of healing magic will await release of the hardcover on Dec 6. That's the part which is going to make people unhappy, no matter what they do. [/QUOTE]
