[QUOTE="BryonD, post: 6323379, member: 957"] I don't really think the premise fully connects with the issue. SW as-is is not compatible with a 3E style. No one should be obliged to care whether 3E style is serviced or not. But if WotC wants to keep their word regarding offering all play styles they must resolve this. Thus, they must remove SW in the current form. (SW = Temp HP removes the current form and replaces with an alternative cleanly enough). They could also "add" a rule that says every time you take *this much* damage you loss one from your max HD, max HD are restored 1/day. That would "add" a rule without removing a class feature. But you are adding a rule whose sole function is to remove another rule. It becomes reaching around your elbow to scratch your nose. And there is still the issue of 100% healing with a long rest.... Ultimately, if they want to keep their promise there must be a means of "removing" some rules. And there is nothing wrong with this. I'd think an arbitrary ban on removals would be a foolish self-inflicted handicap. [/QUOTE]
