They have always been a bit abstract but not as bad as presented now. I have played D&D since the basic boxset and I don't remember hit points ever being like this. Look at the old Cure Light Wounds and Regeneration. It actually says in the description that it causes wounds to close and regenerate lost limbs.4th edition:Cure Light Wounds Cleric Utility 2You utter a simple prayer and gain the power to instantly healwounds, and your touch momentarily suffuses you or a woundedcreature with a dim silver light.Daily ✦ Divine, HealingStandard Action Melee touchTarget: You or one creatureEffect: The target regains hit points as if it had spent a healingsurge.3rd edition:Cure Light WoundsConjuration (Healing)Level: Brd 1, Clr 1, Drd 1, Healing 1, Pal 1,Rgr 2Components: V, SCasting Time: 1 standard actionRange: TouchTarget: Creature touchedDuration: InstantaneousSaving Throw: Will half (harmless); seetextSpell Resistance: Yes (harmless); see textWhen laying your hand upon a livingcreature, you channel positive energy thatcures 1d8 points of damage +1 point percaster level (maximum +5).I can't do a direct quote from 2nd edition because I don't have my books with me but it says pretty much what I have already said. I don't like the concept of your condition changing whether it's from, fatigue or you were actually hit, because of the spell you cast or ability you use.</blockquote>
