Yeah, it should definitely be simple. Some of the ideas I've thrown out are meant to be under a single mechanic, and others are separate ideas that end up looking lumped together because I no can word good sometimes. In a very basic sense, I'm thinking it would either be something like...

Personally, temporary hit points seem like the way to go. Maybe just that at the earliest levels, but later on, it adds a buff of choice, with more choices for buffs as the character gains levels. Or even make it something that can be improved through expendeture of a resource--spend one...
