I agree, Warlords make this feature of hit points more obvious.edit: You could get around this by having the DM say, "Hey, your leg is broken; even though the Warlord is keeping you conscious, you'll need to make a Heal check at the end of the encounter to stay alive, and you're Slowed until your leg actually heals.  Inspiring Word can't do that."  This is how you'd handle a broken leg in any edition.  It seems like it'd be harder to do that in 4E.  Not sure why.</blockquote>
