[QUOTE="AnotherGuy, post: 9350810, member: 7029930"] At the outset we have something similar with HD expenditure but our cost structure is very different. It is based on required level, so for instance an Action Surge of 1st, 5th and 11th would cost differently. I've also recently started using HD expenditure for opponents/monsters too. PCs at our table are 15th so I had to increase the difficulty to keep things challenging and it does help with monsters having 20+HD. ;) That's a cheap [I]Haste :ROFLMAO:[/I] So, an 11th level a fighter spends 1 HD for [I]Action Surge[/I] to regain 3 attacks? How is that in any way comparable to spend 1 HD for d6 damage? or to increase one's speed by d10 feet? [I]Indomitable[/I] (a long rest power) at level 9, now acquired cheaply for 1HD at any level which in your system is the cost for a short rest power? See above [I]Indomitable[/I]. You may want to add an incremental cost increase at higher levels for the orc's [I]Relentless Endurance.[/I] I'm sure there may be other broken abilities with the newer books (Tasha's etc) Seems woefully low. Do you dish out exhaustion more often in your games? Because it is a big score if you do not. Exploration challenges and dropping to 0 incurs exhaustion in our games. [B]EDIT:[/B] This system requires you to change-up the recovery period. I feel systems like these [U]do not[/U] play well with 5e's std recovery rules. The recovery rules are already borked as they are, systems like these aggravate it 10-fold. We've got Short Rests (as per PHB), Travel Rests (benefits of a Short Rest + recover 1/2 HD round down) and Long Rests (as per PHB - 24 hours period within safe haven + comfort) [/QUOTE]
