I've taken (and dealt) plenty of little hits that just left a sore spot, not even a bruise. Gone overnight, if not sooner. I know, I normally wouldn't think to track such a thing as injury, but if the 100 hp fighter is just so darn good at reducing the impact of blows, maybe some of those hits still leave a sore spot without a bruise or cut. Perhaps you could adjust your "minimum physical injury" threshold or something. Although if you find it intolerable to narrate getting hit with an Ogre's sword as the equivalent to a "noogie", I can understand that as well. On the other hand, HP + healing has always been a narrative sore spot for me (this particular issue being the least of my concerns). I do like the mechanics presented so far, because they seem easy to "dial" up or down by modifying a few things. Like: <ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Changing the Hit Die reset trigger/time. (a week of rest, never, when you level up.)</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">You can only use one hit die to heal during a short rest.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">When you use your hit dice to heal, your resulting total becomes your temporary maximum HP. Magical and conventional convalescent healing increase this temporary maximum HP.</li> </ul>Maybe too much of a dial, the more I think about it.</blockquote>
