I think hit dice are underused as a mechanic, especially one that is so emphasized in the books. It's the first thing we see in a class section. It's the primary way, I think, that we are meant to get our hp back. And yet... with long rests basically scrubbing away the hit die mechanic. I hope that with this episode we can get people thinking about this cool idea more, making items that utilize it more directly and think about making short rests worth while.
