[QUOTE="Zardnaar, post: 9776780, member: 6716779"] Wands exist but there's no big sign saying use them. They developed via forums uptake wasn't universal. I'm not 100% they existed in 3.0 dmg. Mines missing. If youre advocating for healing surges the nay have solved some problems but contributed to others. Hard to build tension when each PC has buckets of hp available comparatively. Combine tgat with anemic 4E monsters its fairly hard to die and contributes to 4Es slow combat. Minis and battle grid also contributes less explicit in 3.5 and even less in 3.0. So yeah if you like that fair enough. But its a primary cause of 4E whimpering death as well. 5E designers took a bad idea from 4E and ramped up damage for "quick" combat when they (collectively) invented the grind in the first place. Derp. 5.5 is moving back into emphasizing minis. Back then it was to sell minis I'm sure its got nothing to do with Beyond or vtt plans they had. [/QUOTE]
