Sounds familiar?Here is the catch.You must spend HD to heal. No heal up overnight. Unconscious but stable characters will automatically spend 1 HD per day if they succeed a death save. A failed save means that you might die and death save now becomes a daily save to heal up to at least 1 hp. After 3 consecutive save, the character dies.After a long rest, conscious character can spend any number of HD but a CON bonus is added only once no matter the number of HD spend. After a short rest, a character can spend 1 HD per Tier (1-5, 6-10, 11-15 and 15 -20) or a maximum of 4 HD. Unless a character with medicine or with the healer's feat helps out. The CON bonus is still limited to 1 time no matter how many HD were spent.This makes a healer a really important necessity. It makes magic healing a lot more impressive.It also makes the medicine skill and healer's feat real good and useful.It does not break the narrative of daily combats.It makes the break down of 6 to 8 encounters per day much more easier.It keeps in mind the fact that all people have trouble associating a short rest with a day and a long rest with a week. People still have in mind that resources should replenish daily.This way, we combine both the normal healing and the gritty realism. It works out quite well for us.</blockquote>
