[QUOTE="Big J Money, post: 7882684, member: 70533"] Frodo is wracked in pain, fever and is useless for days after taking the Nazgul blade. Gandalf takes weeks (or is it months?) to recover from his battle with the Balrog. Boromir is killed by orcs. There are many times where the heroes choose to flee rather than to fight monsters. These are not 5E heroes you're talking about. Nothing about the Lord of the Rings pertains to heroes that fight every monster in the dungeon and heal all their wounds overnight. It doesn't even pertain to Marvel. How many scenes are there in the movies where a hero is ripped to shreds and needs to take time to heal before they can battle again? And when they try to get into a fight they are fighting at less than full strength until a point comes along where they've been refreshed? That recovery point is usually not, "I just need to go to bed for the night and I'll be fine in the morning." Like I said in my post, I agree that providing only 1 HP per night is patentedly [I]not[/I] heroic. But neither is healing all HP every night. They are both two extreme ends of the spectrum; and both equally distasteful in my opinion. [/QUOTE]
