[QUOTE="Emerikol, post: 6325395, member: 6698278"] I realize that healing alone does not constitute an entire playstyle but certain approaches are necessary for some playstyles. Does that make sense? Maybe an example would help... Let's suppose that Wotc is enamored with HD and the module they provided in the DMG for my playstyle used HD. Something like 1 HD per day healing or some such. Let's just suppose they deal in some way with Second Wind for the purposes of this discussion. If they did the above that would indicate that they are striving to provide an option for my playstyle. It would be viewed by me as a gesture of good will. I might then still houserule it to exactly what I want which would be no HD at all but I wouldn't feel like they were evicting my playstyle from the game. Do you see the distinction? It's not about the work to houserule I assure you. To me second wind does stand out like a sore thumb, and if it went totally unmentioned in the DMG, that would be very puzzling to me. I'd wonder why they don't feel anyone might need an alternative. Now if they give a solid way to interpret Second Wind so that it fits the playstyle that is another thing but again I'm wondering what that could possibly be. Anyway, I hope this clarifies my position. I want an option in the books for my playstyle even if it's not ideal. I'll houserule that. If no option exists at all then I feel they are ignoring my playstyle and that prompts me to avoid paying them money because they are breaking their promise to be inclusive. [/QUOTE]
