Repurposing the exhaustion track in 5e might do as you desire.I'm buying what you're selling, oft pondering this myself, but I've never settled on a satisfactory answer. You're ultimately rewriting the D&D system from scratch, and I think you're going to find the reduction in crunch dissatisfying. D&D went from "all HD are d6, all weapons do 1d6 damage" to "variable HD and weapon damage" very quickly.You're going to run in another few issues: players like rolling damage, power escalation, and vertical advancement. I think a better option would be to limit hit point bloat and thereby reduce the numeric escalation overall.</blockquote>
