Warlocks would still recover spells after an hour of rest, etc.But death at 0 HP, no HD recovery on short rests, and only 1 HP of healing on a long rest would go a long way towards restoring a classic feel.The cleric isn't necessarily back to using all of his spells on healing, because (1) you don't have to have a cleric, and (2) other classes like Lore Bards and Paladins are so efficient with healing that they rarely spend a large fraction of their spells on healing anyway. But you do need some kind of specialized healer in the group (or a strong alternative like a summoner), and that's part of the point: emulating classic (A)D&D.Another way of looking at this is that you're justifying the cleric's existence. Or would be, if lore bards weren't straight-up better at healing.Wiping out spell points/slots on death, and perhaps even prepared spells too, would also make death more consequential. I probably wouldn't re-introduce permanent Con loss or inability to Raise Dead on elves though.</blockquote>
