Message: <blockquote data-quote="Tony Vargas" data-source="post: 6956967" data-attributes="member: 996">Everyone fully heals in 8 hrs flat, it's called a long rest.   They just also get back half their expended HD for doing so (among other long rest re-charges, of course).Second Wind might be more elegant if it let you spend HD, for another instance - 'scaling' naturally, gaining flexibility as you leveled, and no longer implying 'regeneration' thanks to the inherent limit of running out of HD.I'd like that, too - it'd let me reprise my first 3e character (well, one aspect of the concept, anyway).  A second class that works like the Battlemaster, with CS dice and additional maneuvers, but, say, adding INT mod to CS dice rolls instead of the dice getting bigger, perhaps?'Mantle' was used for the Ardent (Psionic Leader, PH3), FWIW.  The Miniature's Handbook Marshal (and the Essentials Knight) used even-more-magic-sounding 'Auras.'  The original Warlord had a feature called a 'Presence' that gave allies in an (variously defined depending on build) area around him a benefit when they used action points.  It was a distinct but very small part of the class, the kind of thing you could poach with an MC feat, but you could easily fill out a 5e fighter archetype with that sort of thing, the same way a teeny bit of inspiration and a granted attack filled out the PDK.  You could probably mine 4e martial features & powers for dozens of such focused archetypes without covering more than a fraction of the possibilities, but the functionality of the Warlord could never be made to 'fit' in a fighter archetype, the design space is just too constrained - it'd need to be its own class.That also leans towards the 3.x 'battlefield-control'/'tactical-reach'/WWA builds, which it'd be nice to see better handled by 5e, as well (though squeezing any of those into an archetype would be a stretch, too).A possible feature for such an archetype:Combat Reflexes:  When you use you are entitled to make an attack using your reaction, you can do so without spending your Reaction.  You can do so a number of times before the start of your next turn equal to the number of attacks you can make in one action on your turn.</blockquote>
