Probably something that progresses the story somehow in a meaningful way. Rather than:Party: okay we are ready to go.Fighter: I still have ouchies beccause I have not used hit dice, curative magic, potions or whatever passes for healing in our world. I am going to spend 4 hours slowly using my extra fighter ability.Party: <img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/erm.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":erm:" title="Erm    :erm:" data-shortname=":erm:" />or Party: let's head out(Walks half a mile at a moderate pace)Fighter: You know, I still have that crick in my neck.  Let's take another short rest.Party: <img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/erm.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":erm:" title="Erm    :erm:" data-shortname=":erm:" />or Party: Let's head out.(Eventually finds and fights some goblins)Fighter: Okay, I'm beat.  Let's take another short rest.Party: But we just took one before the goblins, and you did not take any damage!Fighter: Yeah, well I'm still pretty beat from earlier.  I just need a little nap.Party: <img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/erm.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":erm:" title="Erm    :erm:" data-shortname=":erm:" />The fighter in our party uses Second Wind once in a while when taking massive damage in combat.  The rest of the time it does not really get used.Really, it just comes down to a DM needing to intervene if having to deal with this being abused.DM: You start to take a short rest only to discover there are signs of orcs in the area.  Better press on.Wizard: I cast leomund's tiny hut.DM: Everyone smells terrible in the cramped space.  After a couple of minutes, you notice orcs gathering around the hut. The hut disappears as a shaman casts dispel magic, and the orcs are upon you!Second Wind does what its name says on the tin, provide a second wind. Not a third, fourth, and fifth wind.Another option if it proves too problematic would be for the DM to eliminate Second Wind and give the fighter 1 more HP per level. The end result is about the same. There are a few HP less, but the HP is already there and does not require an action to activate.</blockquote>
