It may be a lack of will to carry on. It may be a sense of crushing despair. It may be any number of things, and the hp & healing mechanics are non-specific on the issue. Therefore any Quantum Wounding problems are happening because the players & DM are choosing to have them at the table, not because of the rules.That's all I've ever wanted to get across. I don't deny that the problem CAN exist, nor do I wish to tell people how to play their game. I do, however, object to the idea that it's something in the 4e rules that is causing this problem.</blockquote>
