[QUOTE="tetrasodium, post: 8142601, member: 93670"] 20 years ago the cleric could do it over 2 rests or by doing things like "going back to town" to rest it off in an inn or something but doing it in the wild meant that the cleric would be feeling very hamstrung & wand another rest to have a normal spell list without a bunch of spent slots . Resting through the night didn't recover all hp for everyone so any random or not so random encounter over those two days could result in healing up bob but having 2-3 other PCs hurt a little (or a lot) depending on how dangerous the area was. The lack of things targeting stuff other than just hp is also a contributing factor yes 20 years ago the cleric could burn any unspent cure spells before recovering them yes, but they couldn't burn the slots dedicated to spells like* spirit guardians shield of faith remove curse death ward & so on to heal someone. .* I can't remember all the go to non-healing spells for a cleric that far back so threw in some 5e examples [/QUOTE]
