[QUOTE="Sacrosanct, post: 7635279, member: 15700"] No it didn't. Nothing in AD&D had rules where you regained spells from a short rest. Or had the ability to engage in non-magical hit point recovery in a short rest. And AD&D not only did not have heal back to full on a long rest, but you only got what? 1 hp back per day? If you think PCs just sat around for hours after hours casting/memorizing/recasting healing spells, then that tells me your experience with AD&D was limited to the goldbox PC video games. You didn't sit around for 38 hours doing that in an actual AD&D TTRPG while on an adventure (unless your DM paused the game world to allow their game to emulate said goldbox video games, but I never saw that once). Getting all hit points back after 8 hours in 5e is much different than the days of trying to do that in AD&D (even by your method). That difference is not "moot". The rate is significantly different. Pointing out how you'd have to radically change the rest/recovery rules from 5e to OSR is a great point, because it's so radically different in how each edition handled them. [/QUOTE]
