[QUOTE="Oofta, post: 7879133, member: 6801845"] There are optional rules in the DMG for making the campaign grittier. I use the option for resting that a short rest is overnight and long rest is several days (usually a week or more). So with that, I don't have an issue. HP are always going to be an odd abstraction, after all a wound that could kill you in the real world could take months, years or even be permanently disabling in the real world. That doesn't work very well for a game like D&D. You have to either assume magical healing or that HP are just an abstraction and don't really mean serious physical wounds. It is a game after all. Another option is simply that people in a magical world have innate magical healing and don't even realize it. They'd be shocked if gaping wounds didn't heal up overnight. It's action movie logic where a "flesh wound" can be ignored after bandaging it and wincing once or twice. [/QUOTE]
