[QUOTE="Mercutio01, post: 5927326, member: 37277"] This piece of the chat session that was posted here is something that I thought could use separate notice in this thread. [indent]Mearls: We erred on the side of letting long rests heal everything, primarily because we were fairly split on how to treat it. Personally, I'd like to see a rule where you get back a certain amount of hit dice each extended rest. It might be based on Con and/or class. I have to admit that the current rule picks at my sense of realism.[/indent] The second to last sentence is interesting, but I still think limiting HP and not Hit Dice is my preferred feeling, but that last sentence says all I really need to know. Even the lead designer has problems with long rests, and he even uses the word "realism," which I've avoided using because it's such a contentious word. (I generally prefer "verisimilitude.") Although his next line is admittedly more in keeping with what the 0HP people seem to be saying.
