Hoes does one heal?

Calling all nerds: :)

How does one heal oneself in actual paper DnD? What are the available options. How do they work? Would they be viable in this game?

    Potions, spells, resting pretty much covers the basics. We have potions, spells, and can rest at campfires.

    There are no in-combat heals?

    Let me answer myself. You roll. The DM tells you what happened. The end. That sum it up?

    Spells can certainly happen in combat. 4e has some sort of healing surge mechanic, though most people don't like 4e and it's surge mechanic, personally I don't know much about it. Paladin's can use class abilities such as lay on hands.

    Here's the basics of healing surges. http://dnd4.wikia.com/wiki/Healing_surge

    Does really belong in the preview forum?

    It is the General Discussion forum. Maybe you didn't realize.

    I'm simply looking for alternatives to what is currently proposed. If not here. Where?

    Yeah. Translating that to video game form would probably end up being a huge disaster.

    ****. I was hoping there would be something else. Something simple, that I could say, "Why not use XXXX"

    In short, Potions, Healing & Herbalism Skill, Cleric Spells, Druid Spells, Paladin Spells, Magic Items, and I could keep going on. There's tons of information on D&D out there. If you need to know more than that, please be specific on which you'd like explained better. Most of this, excluding surges, are already translated in Neverwinter in their own mechanics.
