Other methods of preventing damage are better than healing, yes, but healing insid e combat also is useless when you want to retain your damage output.Characters are as efficient at 100% HP as if they were at 1% of their HP. But because healing is usually less than the damage a creature makes, it also makes no sense to waste a healing spell on somebody with 1% HP to get him up to 8%, because the next attack will do 10% damage, bringing him to 0 anyway.So the only useful use of healing in Combat is to bring a character back from 0 HP.We could bring back the bloody condition or be even more gradual, like:Bloddy: When you are below 50% HP you have disadvantage on ability checks.Very Bloddy: When you are below 40% HP, your speed is halved.Extremley Bloddy: When you are below 30% you have disadvantage on attack rolls and saving throws.Ultra Bloddy: When you are below 20% you only can take an action or bonus action or reaction per turn.ULTRA EXTREM BLODDY: When you are below 10% your speed is reduced to 0.Now it makes sense to heal, because we have several thresholds of worsening conditions.At the moment the only threshold for any effect is 0 HP.Of course with such conditions the chance of a death spiral gets higher.</blockquote>
