  1. Without healing spells, balance of battles will suffer, I mean the players will be dying all the time without a healing machine, because monsters and their HD levels are designed with priest in mind. This is the only thing I don't like in D&D. When trying to remove healing spells, people usually replace them with other mechanism, for example with regeneration of half of the wounds after combat, saying that it was just fatigue.

  2. I don't want healing spells, so I'll think I'll use your regeneration house rule.
