[QUOTE="Slife, post: 3160997, member: 16347"] Hp is physical damage. People who aren't battle trained or hardy (low level or low constitution) go into shock easily. Battle-hardened warriors can push their bodies farther with the same wounds that would kill a commoner from systemic shock. Temp HP is a limited amount of instant healing. The sword will still stab you, but you'll instantly heal up. The temporary bonus to CON from a barbarian's rage is treated slightly differently. The rage allows the barbarian to temporarily ignore what would be otherwise fatal wounds. That's why barbarians might die or fall unconsious after leaving their rage. The main problem I'm trying to avoid is curing spells being less effective on stronger characters. The only problem with this is winding up with epic characters who are still able to fight after losing gallons of blood and being almost reduced to mincemeat. But it [i]is[/i] epic, after all, so reality has already left the building. [/QUOTE]
