I've ready about 2/3rds of the thread.I don't think hit dice are Healing Surges light - I think they are reserve points like in the 3.x Unearthed Arcana or Iron Heroes. A pool of hit points you can use outside of combat to heal yourself without magic.Healing surges put a cap on healing period - spells and potions and such took them. This is not true of Hit Dice.Healing surges could be used in combat, or triggered by healer types - this doesn't look to be the case in Hit Dice.And the thing I really didn't like about surges was the cap on magical healing - so that is gone. Happy for me.As to the HP definition - I think some of the wording was lifted directly from AD&D 1st (thought I don't have to check) so that is fine with me. Having each level set explicit is great - that allows people that have the "He shouts and you heal?!?" problem to be able to be more comfortable with the class - as someone mentioned above - perhaps the Warlords curative effects only work on non-bloodied. That would really help immersion for those that have a problem with the 4E approach, but still keep the Warlord as a viable character. Personally I liked everything I saw in this one.</blockquote>
