[QUOTE="Lanefan, post: 5938897, member: 29398"] An interesting reversal, to be sure; though I think "a nasty wound ... still oozing into the bandages" is not exactly full h.p. territory. :) In fact, that's a narration I might use to describe somebody who is what we call "incurable", having been below 0 h.p. recently and still recovering. Except with the Reaper, you can! She's always going to hurt you somehow, provided she swings at all... And I just thought of another ridiculous thing about that auto-damage ability: with a poor roll on the damage die it is now possible to do more damage on a rolled miss than on a rolled hit. Sigh... Both true, though I don't have to worry about DR. :) I still think minor or trivial physical injury is necessary most of the time - the 100 h.p. Fighter example being the exception rather than the rule (100 h.p. characters are mighty rare in these parts). I've almost always narrated made saves vs. poison as either "your body fights off the effects" or "you quickly do what's necessary to get the poison out of you"; or words to those effects. Where you say "plot resilience" I say "pain tolerance". :) Brilliant! Same could be used, in this case anyway, for regenerative effects; with a Zombie, who can tell?
