That is all.Level of a Feature/Power/SlotsLevels 1-4 cost 1 HDLevels 5-8 costs 2 HDLevels 9-12 costs 3 HDLevels 13+ cost 4 HDi.e. So using an Action Surge for 1 attack costs 1 HDUsing an Action Surge with 2 attacks costs 2 HD (as you have to be minimum 5th level as a fighter to gain a second attack)One can use levels of exhaustion to substitute for HD (on a 1 level = 1 HD) when one's HD reaches 0.Further rule if one falls unconscious from loss of hit points, one gains one level of exhaustion. It is gritty, simple and ties the abilities to HD (reserves) and the exhaustion track within the 5 framework. Also solves the pesky Leomund's Hut...etcEDIT: Mistakenly wrote Action Point instead of Action Surge. Corrected. Thanks [USER=6749673]@Nutation[/USER].</blockquote>
