[QUOTE="Lyxen, post: 8582981, member: 7032025"] No, it does not. The whole paragraph is stating "Harkening back to the example of Rasputin" so it's just an example. It continues by saying "Furthermore, these actual physical hit points would be spread across a large number of levels, starting from a base score of from an average of 3 to 4, going up to 6 to 8 at 2nd level, 9 to 11 at 3rd, 12 to 14 at 4th, 15 to 17 at 5th, 18 to 20 at 6th, and 21 to 23 at 7th level." It does not say anything beyond level 7 when fighters actually continue to accrue hit dice beyond that. It then goes on to examine a 10th level fighter with 95 hit points, and certainly does not refer the 23 again. It just says "However, having sustained 40 or 50 hit points of damage, our lordly fighter will be covered with a number of nicks, scratches, cuts and bruises." So the meat is reached well before the fighter is down to 23 hit points. Again, these are just examples to explain, as he puts it "the physical and metaphysical peak of 95 hit points." The interesting point here, however, is that it's about 50%, just like in 5e. It says SPECIFICALLY: "and 21 to 23 at 7th level"... You have missed the first part of the sentence, which makes it clearly not a rule, it does not mandate what a DM should say, the book just says, in a side bar that clearly indicates that this is not a rule: "Dungeon Masters describe hit point loss in different ways..." And coming back to the "spider bites that have to do physical damage to be able to poison a PC", I'm sorry but it's a counter-example. The rules do NOT mention "physical damage", they mention "damage", which is just "Hit Point Damage" (A creature that takes piercing or slashing damage from an object coated with the poison is exposed to its effects.). If my 120 fighters is a full strength and is bitten by a spider for 1 point of damage, I'm pretty sure that he would not even get a scratch, from the "typical" description of damage, and yet, although it's not really physical damage to his meat, he still gets to make a saving throw and possible suffer poison damage.
