How does someone keep track of spent Hit Dice outside of a Short Rest?
With the Dwarven Fortitude racial feat, you can spend a Hit Die to heal yourself when you take the Dodge action. I have not found a way to keep track of those spent Hit Dice without taking a Short Rest. I would just take a Short Rest when I use them but I have other class features that reset on a Short Rest.
I also want to create a feat that uses Hit Dice outside of a short rest but there is no way to keep track of that. I would just leave them checked but the checked boxes go away if you leave your character sheet or your web page resets.
Seconding this request! The ability to manually adjust the Hit Dice pool would be a big help, both for the Dwarven Fortitude feat and also for homebrew options that allow spending hit dice outside of rests. It doesn't need to be elegant, just please let us alter the Hit Dice without needing to rest!
How hard is it to just let people control all the numbers of stuff. Automation is great, but it should be optional. Especially if it's missing features.

If you click short rest, you can check off some hit dice then cancel. The problem is, it doesnt save if you refresh the page.
You could also pit in ypir notes section how many hit dice youve used and clear it when your short rest.
Hopefully they add this properly with the next character sheet update.
Do you think it would be better for me to post this in the Bugs forum to let them know that this is an issue?
It isnt a bug so much as a missing feature, so feedback is the correct forum.
I appreciate it, thank you

Hi,
+1
I would love it too if this was possible. I haven't found a way to do it via the character sheet or via a homebrew feat.
Please let me know if I'm missing something and it is now available since this is an old post.
Thanks!
Would love an update for this! Also not seeing if it's been added since this post was made.
With the autognome they can cast mending and spend a hit die to heal, keeping track would be useful!
Hey I’m also looking to homebrew items/feats that use Hit Dice outside of Resting and was curious if anyone else has found a good workaround?
2024 and still no way to track hit die I spend with Lifedrinker.
Glad to see nothing has been done about this is 5 years!
