(thank you for that clarification).  The monk's ability doesn't bother me as it is a mystical, near magical power representing the monk's great control over his or her body.  The fighter's second wind represent inner reserves of willpower and grit that a professional warrior can rely on - he or she doesn't need a short rest to regain a small burst of HP.  Besides, with a bit less natural healing this fighter ability becomes more important, and the consensus on the board seems to be that the fighter could do with a little boost <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=":)" />When a party receives a sound trashing and isn't able to automatically heal up after a long rest, it can slow the game down but it also has two effects.First, this can be a bit like a minor defeat for the party.  Not a TPK, but enough to make them reflect.  Even if the party won the battle, it still stings. Furthermore, if this is a "time is short" adventure and the party must press on without their full HP, it creates a lot of dramatic tension, and I think that can be a good thing.</blockquote>
