[QUOTE="Minigiant, post: 4286145, member: 63508"] A long while ago, I played with a DM that changed Hit Points into Parry Points, Toughness Points, or Force Field Points. You got different amounts based on your class (fighter were all parry, wizards relied on force field). When you were hit, one of them went down. When the Hill Giant punched everyone for 20, the human fighter parried it and back flipped out the way, The elf wizard placed a magic force shield in front of his "almost punched in" face, and the troll barbarian took the hit "power Ranger style". So no one actually got hit and wounded 'til they hit negatives unless you were a race that had superhuman toughness like werefolk, undead, constructs, and trolls. When you healed HP, the squishy races regained some stamina and morale to fight on. Only the tough races healed wounds because they are the only ones that got wounded before hitting 0. So healing was mostly stamina and morale regen until you actually went under 0HP. And that how I thought of HP ever since. You never took a "real scary" hit 'til you went under 0 unless you were some super tough race. Adventure healing was actually "Magic Sports Drink with Extra Sugar", or your "I kick butt" theme song plays, or "lactic acid's all gone, baby". [/QUOTE]
