[QUOTE="mellored, post: 7055280, member: 6801209"] I won't speak for other posters, but for me, yes. I don't have a problem reflavoring telepathy to hand signals. But I just doesn't work well reflavoring x/rest into a martial ability. Reflavoring ray of ice as an arrow shot to the knee works most of the time, until it suddenly does extra damage to a fire elemental. Narrative should dictate the mechanics. That's a goal of 5e. I realize healing shouldn't be done at-will for balance reasons. But that's about the only thing. You can have things like "on your first turn of combat". Which is effectively 2/short rest, but makes a lot more sense narratively. I won't comment on a specific poster, but when 4e came out, many complained about how it made no sense that a fighter had things he could do once per day. And when 5e started, very few 4e players cared about AEDU. Though a uniform class structure had some advantages, like hybrid classes, there weren't (m)any complaints about seeing it go. "Martial healing" debate goes back to 1e and the nature of hit points. [/QUOTE]
