As long as HP is a resource you have to manage, it can/will cause the 15 MWD. Send a 5e party into the caves of chaos, have them hit a string of kobolds or whatever who keep running for help, and see if they want to keep going at the end of it even if the Wizard has been using magic missile each round, and has his Sleep spell. If they're low on HP, they'll still stop.This will help mitigate the 15 MWD, but it may produce a style of play that many won't like (and HP as a resource can/will cause the 15 MWD). At high enough level, I'm okay with at-will Fireballs and whatnot, so I'm split on it. But, while my preferred magic system uses spell slots, it is definitely not Vancian, nor do I favor the AED power structure. So, I'm also not aligned with any real majority crowd, I don't think.At any rate, I do think the 15 MWD can be mitigated, but this requires less long-term resource management (more at-wills, HP lasting longer [healing surges], etc.), but this approach obviously has its share of detractors, because of how important long-term resource management has been a vital part of D&D strategy.In essence, mitigating the 15 MWD with these methods may be best used in a module (or vice versa). I'm not sure how they'd do that (since they'd need to do it across a wide range of areas that could involve resource management  including HP, class abilities, spells, equipment, etc.), but that's also because I'm not heavily involved in creating the game. We'll see what they do, but the 15 MWD doesn't solely rely on the "nova" aspect of gameplay. As always, play what you like <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
