Until then, you're just happily adventuring along at no penalty of any kind. Same place you get that they don't heal overnight. Yes, that's the point."Because: magic" is only as reasonable in an FRPG as it is in the fantasy genre, itself.  And, no, to the degree it's typically used in D&D, not that reasonable, not remotely.  5e does a bit better with HD - though 1-hour rests are excessive, you can always invoke the time-compression trope...  No edition has.</blockquote>
