[QUOTE="nnms, post: 5916241, member: 83293"] The vast majority of D&D play is at low level. How the game works then is more important than how it works at level 10+ (though it is still important for it to work well at such levels, just not as important). You made the contention that having a dedicated healer is still necessary given what's been talked about in the article. I say nonsense. And actual play of a version of the game that is way, way more harsh backs that up. Having access to the same dice you rolled to generate your hit points to restore them, each and every day, is very, very rapid healing. It's not as fast as 4E reset to full though. 4E already restores HP at the fastest rate any system could if we are talking about the refresh rate of a night's sleep. So if that's your standard, everything by definition must be slow in comparison. And if you play 4E and need a healer, I can totally see how you might think that therefore you're going to need a healer even more with the system that's going to be in the playtest for 5E. I'm saying, you don't. And given that D&D Next is about looking back at the entire history of D&D for ideas, it probably shouldn't surprise you that there are modes of play that will be included in 5E that are not from 4E.
