Message: <blockquote data-quote="JamesonCourage" data-source="post: 5837609" data-attributes="member: 6668292">I think the problem lies in "this guy is going to bleed out in 12 or 30 seconds" and "he's fine, he just needs to be inspired enough to get up and get back into the fray." Is he bleeding out? If so, that inspiration from his companion might get him back up, but doing so shouldn't stop him from bleeding out.However, if inspiring words can bring him back up and he's not dying, then he wouldn't need me to heal him. He wasn't bleeding out. He would have been fine, and I could have spent my time fighting.The thing is, we don't know which one is the case. It hasn't been decided yet. We don't know which way those death saves are going to be rolled. He might get up, he might not.I don't object to the goal at all.I prefer two pools of HP, as I've said. HP (wounds, takes a long time to heal), and THP (fatigue or morale, heals within rounds or minutes). Let clerics only heal HP, and Warlords only heal THP (maybe Warlords could make Heal checks to heal HP outside of combat). This each have their niche, that way.I believe this is very similar to a common proposal from people who don't like Warlord healing: make it all THP (temporary hit points). They can't heal HP, but they can grant fake THP that falls away after a bit.That guy that's dying that you've inspired? He'll be getting up, but his wounds are still bad. He's going to start dying again once the inspiration wears off. That guy that's not wounded that you've inspired? He's more inspired, better at taking that hit and turning it into a lesser blow, or the like.Wouldn't work for me. Works for you. This seems to be where the disagreement is based.
