[QUOTE="TallIan, post: 7234632, member: 6853819"] Why the use of reaction? Any other save doesn't use your reaction and what happens if you've already used your reaction that round? To rephrase tour last sentence; And the THPs are still a benefit to the Warlock [B]instead of [/B] other builds in the same class's[B]other, different[/B] because they are more unlikely overall to suffer all of the other negative effects of taking a Mortal Wound than the other builds. The ranger in my example chose defensive fighting style so he could take less damage and continues to take less damage after the failed death save. A fey pact warlock can still use his charm ability and can do so every short rest even after a failed death save. My point is youve given up something to get a regular source of THP's which your idea takes away. Yet the guy who took something else still gets what he took. What he took may be great for staying alive after a failed death save (like defensive fighting style) [/QUOTE]
