[QUOTE="Tony Vargas, post: 6848966, member: 996"] Whether you're talking about the original topic of hp inflation or the easy availability of between-combat healing, it is. High point, and arguably beginning. PC hps in 3e could go higher than in other editions, because CON bonus added at every level and CON didn't have a hard cap (and you had CON boosting items). WoCLW healing quickly became trivially available - virtually unlimited, while surges were & HD are daily resources. I've seen a Defender 'do his job too well' and be the first one out of surges. But, yeah, especially early on, it was the melee strikers, typically the Rogue, who would run out the fastest. It wasn't all intra-encounter tactics, attrition over the adventuring day was a significant factor to manage, too. Sure, but once they broke out the WoCLW, you could just prep different spells and go all CoDzilla.... [/QUOTE]
