Those who come from earlier editions, why are you okay with 5E healing (or are you)?

[QUOTE="Jfdlsjfd, post: 7879741, member: 42856"] Even if the DMG use the name "Slower natural healing" for the variant healling, in the PHB, It's just called "resting". And after a long rest, characters get back all their HP. There is no hint that the wounds close, the infections receded and the broken bones ment themselves naturally overnight, just that the characters can recover their HP at a long rest. Many things are abstracted in the game, and in 3.5, the result was that characters carried wands of healing and it quickly became a non-issue (healing overnight became a mere [I]money sink[/I], or xp sink if you could craft wands). I don't see any reason not to think that adventurers are just using non-magical healing when they can. "Hey, have a bandage soaked in snake oil, your wounds will disappear overnight... too bad snake oil can't be used in combat". And abstract it so that no sane adventurer would venture without snake oil. We abstract cost of living, don't we? [/QUOTE]
