This may be off-topic, but I really don't see anything positive coming out of this mechanic. It's newbie-hostile. In realms where battles aren't overly abundant (i.e. most realms at any given time), it can prevent a new character from having access to a great deal of actions and positions for a very, very long time. Worst of all, it prevents access to the sole means of gaining h/p outside of combat (police work and the such).
I agree completely and have voiced the same opinion before. If I were playing a single player, PvE RPG it would make sense. In BattleMaster, however, the mechanic just feels... off if many ways.
