It really shows how the game went from having hp be a ressource that was managed during the entire adventure to a ressource that is now expected to be managed in each encounter.Personally I think this really cheapens the experience and removes a lot of strategic choices, also encouraging players to simply charge and destroy anything in their path, rather than seek to avoid or negotiate with potential threats. That being said I think it’s very difficult to remove this from 5e and return to a feeling closer to the older editions. I have tried a few of the alternate healing rules and none of them truly works. At the moment I am using half hit dice only during long rest and it sort of works but only if you are in a high encounters per day environment such as a dungeon. It’s very difficult to balance this if you have only a few encounters per day or even week.</blockquote>
