It would help communicate intent very well.5- Skill challenge framing6- The Disease track! It was really an easy way to model complex curses, diseases and even long lasting injury. You could have a 'broken arm' and 'broken leg' track, for exemple! Also, if we can't have Healing Surges back, I'd like to see more stuff that drains HD outside of the just healing in short rests. The one that always stick to my mind is that Dragons automatically recharge their Breath Weapons and use them as a reaction the moment they get bloodied! (4e Dragons were more fun than just 'Two claw attacks and one bite VS Breath weapon'). It made fighting them way more dangerous. Also, I'm pretty sure the monster stat block told you the bloodied value as a quick reference? If not, it should. Toll the Dead would be a smaller text block if it could just reference the bloodied condition <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":p" title="Stick out tongue    :p"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":p" /> Races like Shardmins and Wilden were fun. Class wise there was some fun stuff, like you say: Warlords, Avengers, Invokers, Warden, those were really cool. The 4e Monk was way better too.  The Mystic's problem is that it could easily have been sliced up into 2-3 different classes. It just tried to do EVERYTHING too hard.</blockquote>
