Limit Break Dancing (He/They)
This is what we do in our 3.5E game. It works okay. I'm really interested in this new Hit Dice Healing mechanic of 5E, though. I think it has a lot of potential, so long as they continue to keep its use well-grounded.I think the suggestion Mike Mearls made for playing a more OSR-style game, while not perfect, has at least some merit: Remove HD from play. After a long rest, a character regains hit points equal to his level + Con modifier.
Using a healing kit to restore lost hit points? Cool.
Bards singing someone back to health? A bit of a stretch.
I suppose it would. But if I were playing the character, and if I were only injured for 2 damage, I would probably just use the healing kit after an 8-hour nap and be done with it.Rounded up, I suppose. That said, does this mean that a character who only lost 2 hit points in a battle gains just 1 hit point back for having spent 24 hours in bed resting up?
And you always round down in D&D.
