Yeah. The main reason for that, though, is that in older editions there basically was no natural healing. You’d recover two or three hit points by resting, and then the cleric would burn half his spells to do the real healing. This way’s not very realistic, but it keeps the game moving without anyone having to play a walking band-aid.

I played my first 4th edition scenerio recently. And while the jury is still out until a few more sessions, my first reaction is that Wizards haven’t messed the game up too much.
The only thing that I totally can’t stomach is the idea that an extended rest (or camp of six hours) allows you to regain all your hit points.
So, you fight a red dragon, lose 100 hit points, but have a bit of a rest and you’re all fine again!?! I know it’s fantasty but come on Wizards, lets have a bit of reality please!
