There will be plenty of feats anyway, so how the hell the adventure designers are going to design their adventures differently by assuming feats are used?This is a good point, but I wouldn't even call those "errata". Errata-corrige are corrections to the text, not clarifications, so those would rather be FAQs or "Sage advice".I would be intrigued anyway if WotC decided not to provide official rulings for ambiguous situations. I understand the potential problem with organized play (which is a big part of 5e), but still I wouldn't dislike if they forced each DM/group to make their own ruling on certain things, especially corner cases and rarely coming-up combinations. More generally, I think the problem is with healing and other unbounded replenishment abilities (there might be none at the moment). For example, take a look at Arcane Recovery: it is not unbounded because it specifically says "once per day" even if it based on a short-rest. So no problem here. But if it didn't say so, a Wizard could just take additional short rests until regaining all her spells slots, and I'm sure there will be arguments about this!However, while in theory unlimited self-healing sounds like a problem, in practice it depends on how the DM runs the adventures. I still don't have a clear opinion on this, but while a badly wounded Fighter might force the party to stop for N hours to regain Nd10 hp, he might also just call it a day and take a long rest, hence regaining all hp.At the same time, as @mips says, I don't think this is the intent of Second Wind. I don't think it's meant to represent regenerating wounds but rather ignoring some damage you just took during the current combat. That's why it says "on your turn". IIRC in the playtest it required you to take an action i.e. forgo your attacks for a round, while in Basic it's more conveniently a bonus action. Still, it feels to me this is supposed to work only during combat, not afterwards (the short rest is to reset the ability, not to use it). Maybe I'm wrong, but if this is the intent, then the current design is not good. I would like to HR this so that it only heals damage taken during the current (or just ended) encounter.</blockquote>
