[QUOTE="BryonD, post: 5804833, member: 957"] Wrong. All the effects of the prior wounds are gone. Yes, his ability to make NEW wounds instantly go away is now depleted and THAT is a change. But that is a hugely and fundamentally different change. And in the 3E scenario, because he has not recovered any HP, if you shoot him ONCE more, he is a goner. Wrong. Now, this one actually may be right FOR YOU. But it isn't remotely a truth. That is beauty of HP is that they allow a very wide range of narrative liberty to describe damage as anything from a real wound that the hero can just overcome, to cuts and bruises, to pure spent karma. And that is the toll of surges, they force the hand of the narrative down to things like just shock. WRONG I agree that D&D characters recover vastly faster than real people. But a gravely wounded fighter alone in the woods will need a week or more to recover in 3E and one night in 4E. [/QUOTE]
