[QUOTE="The Crimson Binome, post: 6844106, member: 6775031"] The problem I'm seeing is that magical healing is kind of lame in 5E, just by default. Normal fire and swords and whatnot will only produce the sorts of "injuries" that can recover with a night of sleep (or an hour with a med-kit), which means magical healing (of damage) isn't that big of a deal as a setting element. There's no point in guarding the sacred grove of healing, because anyone can always heal anywhere overnight. If you don't address that issue, by [I]drastically[/I] reducing the rate of natural healing, then nobody in-game will care the slightest about the rare sources of magical healing that exist within the world. If you're just concerned about possible complications associated with getting rid of healing in combat, then don't worry about it. Nobody needs in-combat healing in 5E. The worst that will happen is that a PC might catch a bad critical hit and go down early, and then one player sits around kibitzing for twenty minutes while everyone else finishes things. Combats will be very slightly more difficult, overall, but not generally to a meaningful degree. Seriously, don't worry about it. [/QUOTE]
