Draw Steel does the same with the healing abilities of its healing classes. In 4e, Second Wind (spend your own healing surge in combat) was a major action and could be done once/encounter, whereas Draw Steel makes "Catch Breath" it a maneuver and unlimited (but there are plenty of other fun things to do with maneuvers, so it's not like it's costless).4e clerics also had plenty of powers that combined a mediocre attack with a buff of some sort, along the lines of 5e's guiding bolt.</blockquote>
