Message: <blockquote data-quote="Guest&nbsp; 85555" data-source="post: 5708350">I may have missed a detail here, but this largely depends on how far into negative HP a characters goes. Even then, multiple 10% rolls aren't that high a chance. If we assume best case scenario (-1 HP) and give the character 9 10% rolls, he still has something like a 38% chance of dying.  Here is the problem with the above description, I wouldn't never say a wound IS fatal, until it kills the character. I may say it is deep and serious. I might even say you think this character will die without help. This is where healing surges become a problem for me. In 3E at least stabalizing doesn't wreck that narrative. The character still took a deep wound but has simply stabalized. healing Surges force me to say, oops, no it wasn't a deep wound in the first place.  I can see how this might not bother some people, or how their style of narration might not come into conflict with it. But for my style and the style of many others posting here, healing surges are presenting a real problem that we just didn't encounter in 3E.</blockquote>
