[QUOTE="fanboy2000, post: 6352456, member: 19998"] The only confusion I see about is about chaining short rests, not second wind specifically. And the chaining short rests is really just a question of whether or not the group wants them and the DM lets them. The fact is, both interpretations are fine, it's just a matter of picking one. I would like to point out that if you restrict using Second Wind to fighters with > 1/2 HP, then you'll prevent a lot of fighters from using an important class feature. Consider the 1st level fighter with 13 HP that takes seven points of damage before they even get a turn. Normally, they could second wind on their first turn, but per your house rule, they will either need to use magical healing or hope they survive the encounter and spend HD after a short rest.
