[QUOTE="MerricB, post: 5296117, member: 3586"] That's because the investment might not be "much", but it's mind-bogglingly stupid. It's a way to "game" the system so you can keep going, but does it make any sense when you see the action in the films? Nope. R2-D2 doesn't have a set of surgical tools he deploys after every battle, but he'd need to if combat in the films works like it does in the RPG. The fact that it's *necessary* to have a dedicated healer in the party is a problem. I can just see the infiltration of the first Death Star now... "Uh, why is that medical droid following you, trooper?" The joy of healing surges is that they provide: a) the ability for individual combats to maintain their threat of lethality b) a way to recover from each individual battle c) an upper limit on how much you can continue before becoming fatigued and needing to "press your luck" Cheers!
