If he had 30 hp max, had been reduced to 3 hp, healed to 15 by the morale boost, then reduced back to 10 during the course of the game, then no, he wouldn't go out and "dance the night away".But that doesn't mean he wasn't healed. HP have to represent something more than physical damage.High level fighters have the HP of several elephants.If it's all physical, and not morale, skill and luck, then HP make no sense.This is also why HP are rolled randomly.Because it's luck. Some people are luckier than others. And finally, I'd like to point out that the game gives us an ironclad way to see how much of HP are physical.It's called the Con bonus. At most, Con represents 40% of a fighter's HP, since a max Con fighter gets 40% more HP. But that 18 Con fighter might still wind up with fewer HP than the 10 Con fighter who rolls really well on his HP.Why is that?Because HP don't represent the body.</blockquote>
