[QUOTE="nnms, post: 5916141, member: 83293"] This could be a deal breaker for me depending on how things go. Time to go read the article. EDIT1: [indent] [COLOR="DarkOrange"]If mundane bandages are all the fighter's companions have on hand, it will take a couple of days for the fighter to return to action.[/COLOR][/indent] Yay! Big fan of this. Also a big fan of the HP of a 1st level fighter could have being low like 10. Not 25-30 at level 1 like 4E. EDIT2: [indent][COLOR="DarkOrange"] Your character gains Hit Dice just as he or she did in editions before 4E, though some classes use different dice now. Fighters gain a d10 Hit Die per level, clerics and rogues gain d8s, and wizards gain d6s. When a character rests, Hit Dice allow that character to regain hit points. Your character is bandaging wounds, applying healing herbs, having some food and water, and otherwise spending time to recover.

It's not like having two or three times you HP total worth of healing surges you can spend at the end of every fight over the course of a day. I wonder how often the HD refresh. It looks like a day's rest will give them back to you. Extended rests to get HD back, short rests to use them. That works for me.

No. I like it and look forward to testing it out. [/QUOTE]
