Message: <blockquote data-quote="Big J Money" data-source="post: 7882827" data-attributes="member: 70533">Agreed; although this wasn't my claim.  I said that in 5E, PCs don't suffer wounds that last longer than 24 hours. I'm not debating the merits or flaws of HP being abstract. For the record, I have no qualms with HP being abstract.In my OP I did mention that I'm aware that there are variant rules provided.  I think that's a great thing.  I'm certainly not someone who slavishly sticks to RAW.  In case there is any confusion about my posting, I'm really curious about two things:1) Are people running this rule as written or have their own approach? Feel free to share any opinions or details.2) What do you think about the fact that WotC decided to make this the default ruling in 5E?  From my perspective it's awkward to have adventure stories where the protagonists are never injured for more than a day, and I'm curious what others' thoughts are on that (either way).I don't have any significant complaints or qualms here.  I have maybe a minor bit of distaste in WotC's sense of aesthetics over this rule, but that's par for the course; no set of RPG rules or setting material is going to be 100% perfect for everyone's tastes.</blockquote>
