They have a vague sense of "I'm only slightly wounded" vs. "I'm about to die," but nothing remotely as mechanical or as granular as hp/hd. The decision to spend hit dice is the player choosing to represent the character recovering, not the character choosing whether or not to recover.I mean, obviously, one doesn't have to play it that way. But neither is the reverse true, and the reverse certainly isn't required for the game to "really" be D&D.</blockquote>
