[QUOTE="CleverNickName, post: 5809440, member: 50987"] It isn't "wrong," AA. It's just a different way of looking at it. The definition of hit points is something that is different to every gamer--and judging by this thread, it is safe to assume that it would be impossible to find a definition that everyone will agree with. This is why I would want to make healing surges optional in the next edition. For me, it has nothing to do with verisimilitude or realism or what-have-you. It's about making the game appealing to the largest group of players. I think you might be overstating your argument. Third Edition does not have healing surges, but it does have a variety of classes, prestige classes, magic items, feats, and other mechanics that grant healing ability to different characters in different ways, all to different levels of effectiveness. For better or worse, 3.X is a highly modular system. I hope 5E is equally modular. [/QUOTE]
