Message: <blockquote data-quote="Gadget" data-source="post: 8613164" data-attributes="member: 23716">The crux of the issue is the old D&D chestnut: 'Hit Points as meat, yes or no?'  Even though as far back as 1e, hit points have been things other than physical wounds, the term 'healing' is used when recovering hit points.  I've always thought the Warlord archetype fit a lot of fantasy archetypes in the genre, with the 'healing' mainly being moral, inspiration and such.  So there are issues with some players having martial 'healing.'  Thus there are disparaging phrases like "shouting someone's arm back on/wounds closed" in regaurd to the Warlord.  Some think it should be temporary hp rather than true hp.  Others think hp 'healing' should not be used at all.  Certainly popping someone up from zero is probably more of an issue for many as well, even if general HP recovery is not as much of a concern.</blockquote>
