(i'm not good on judging balance on those sorts of thing) What about something that says something like 'you can entertain to up to five teammates during a rest, any teammate you tend to can take the maximum number on one of their hit die when recovering hit points, they can do this for 2 hit die at 5th, 3 at 11th and 4 at 17th.</blockquote>
