So we've really only had one good fight with it so far I'll get back to you after they've had a few more fights with it.

That increases reliance on long rests since that's how you get hit die back. Which is sort of what I'm trying to get away from, while also eliminating a needles (in my opinion resource.)

Thats sort of where I'm coming from. Thematically, HP is a measure of your ability to keep fighting, including moral,, stamina, and blood loss. So I figured making a special maneuvers cost stamina, so it should cost HP. Ontop of that, exertion shares its replenishment mechanic with HP anyway...

My players are min/max and play magic. They know and have the mindset that no health loss matters except the last one (which is actually true in DnD) so they don't actually mind hurting themselves for advantages. As for throwing off the maneuver economy, maneuvers have a basic recovery period of...

All good points, but I don't think anything you've brought is actually that detrimental to balance. If they don't use maneuvers and Hoard the extra 8-12 hp they'd get, I'm not really concerned about it. That's like 1-2 extra attacks to down someone late game. I would actually allow players to KO...

I don't like exertion and the fact that it's just another resource that my players need to track. My players don't really like it and more often than not forget to increment it up or down. With this in mind, me and my players have talked about making things a little easier to remember so I'm...

I don't like that exertion is another resource that my players have to track and they don't like it either. So I was thinking of just turning all of the exertion costs into HP costs in the game and giving everyone an extra hit die of health. Does anyone have any insight into how this will affect...
