That would definitely not be 5e compatible then.
Yeah, I know it’s not gonna happen. And that’s fine! I think the stated goal of 5E but crunchier is worthwhile and compatibility with 5E is a good idea for several reasons.
For me, though, I think my main issue with D&D....or maybe the root cause of several issues....is the HP system. The 5 minute work day, the need for a healing class, the hundred foot fall that barely phases a PC, the absolute slog that combat can be....all these things and more would very likely go away without hit point mechanics.
And I think there potentially could be a way to do so and still be 5E....but it would be more a revision of the game rather than simply an addition of elements to create a more mechanically involved game. So yeah....I don’t see it happening with this project.
