Fixing the mojo:meat ratio to something more palatable would take a lot of work.And honestly, I couldn't care less about what Gygax said, except in its reflection upon the game rules. He may have thought he was painting a great picture of a horse, but I'd rather put it at a 90 degree angle so it forms a wicked sweet picture of a space ship. (I started playing in late 2E, and my preferences reflect such.)Non-magical doesn't mean mundane; that's why we have the (Ex) tag, and the martial power source. And your personal non-heroic injuries are not something which make for compelling gameplay, so there's no reason we'd need to model them in detail. If we modeled that as healing over the course of a week, rather than months or whatever, it doesn't make the injury any more or less abstract. If we had it heal overnight, then that would cement it as mostly non-physical.</blockquote>
