Message: <blockquote data-quote="Iosue" data-source="post: 5804458" data-attributes="member: 6680772">"Almost died by blood loss" suggests two possibilities to me.1. He was brought to negative hit points, and stabilized, but going negative means can't just pop back up and continue the adventure.2. This is a particular effect used by stirges and other blood suckers.  It's not just damage, but blood loss damage, and thus may require more powerful healing magic (or else, this particular group ran out of heal spells).Not necessarily.  I imagine the whole group stayed with the paladin until he recovered, and the weeks of game time were just glossed over.  "Okay, two weeks later you're back at the dungeon."This is a rather early D&D take on healing and recovery, and might be included for older edition players, but would be easy to work around if the group wants a more "cinematic" experience.  Not to mention that even a player "out of action" may not be out of the game.  I'm thinking of Edward the Spoony Bard in Final Fantasy II.</blockquote>
