[QUOTE="MoonSong, post: 6470899, member: 6689464"] Not as idiosyncratic as you'd think. Now from your post I get that -for many reasons including your own experience with injuries- your threshold for suspension of disbelief on treating hp as meat is fairly low, as such you very likely got pretty early into hp as a mix of stuff, but in my personal case (and maybe in Saelorn's) that threshold was high, and thus we were eager to suspend even more than you did, and quickly gloss over many things that others found unbelievable, but by teh time 4e showed, then overnight and 5-minutes full healing was what finally broke suspension of disbelief. And then the option was to change how we see HP -something that got more time to uproot and is harder to let go of- or to stick to what we know and the editions that support how we see HP -even if it is just passive support, aka mechanics don't get in the way-. If you don't believe me, just list the things that bother you about hp to see it as meat and that don't even register for me. It isn't Idiosyncratic, it is just the other side of the spectrum.
