[QUOTE="Connorsrpg, post: 5289655, member: 19265"] We certainly never played older editions (esp 3e) where you 'just healed everything with MIs you bought!' We too go for a grittier style. In essence following an extended rest in our game you do NOT auto heal to full. You can use any of the previous day's surges and then you have to start on the new day's surges if you wish to continue. So, it is still rare, but sometimes we have characters starting a day with fewer than full surges. Other methods we use for making wounds more obvious and not instantly healed: A save of '1' increases the severity of ongoing dam or other effects. 3 failed saves in a row = long term effects (like the dying rule). So ongoing damage leads to maybe infection and treat as disease rules. Impose a -2 penalty, etc. that could get worse or go away (like disease). (A lot of our rules rely upon the extra condition of 'Struck' we have in our game). We like it this way.
