I've already got the race published online and multiple DMs have already looked at it. The fighting style is fine, since it requires at least one level Fighter, and won't work with Martial Arts. If a character's willing to gimp themselves for damage dice, their minimum damage goes up. I think that's fine. They're still creatures, meaning just completing a rest nets them health. Even undead can spend Hit Dice and get their health back after Long Rests. And that's straight from the book. Letting a cantrip do any sort of healing breaks the game because it's infinitely repeatable. The one thing I didn't include in his description was the fact that he's a Living Construct, which means he has both the Humanoid and Construct types, and any spell that targets one or both of those types can affect him normally, except healing spells, which only heal him half as much, rounded down. Spells that can heal constructs and humanoids work for him completely, because half his body isn't resisting the magic.
