So HP is, in my mind, freed up to be what it is great at (plot armor: skill, stamina, luck, very minor injuries). This also means HP can heal like normal and their is no narrative disconnect. Real injuries, BHP damage, takes much longer to heal. This all ties into our AC rules to. Here are our standard house rules:[spoiler="Dave2008's House Rules"]Ability Scores:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">18 max</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Racial bonus added to max, not initial score.</li> </ul>Feats:No ASI, we only take feats.Bloodied Hit Points:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">In addition to hit points, all characters (and Monsters) get bloodied hit points (BHP)</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">BHP = (Str Mod + Con Mod) x Size (¼ Tiny, ½ Small, 1 Medium, 2 Large, 3 Huge, & 4 Gargantuan)</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">You lose bloodied hit points on a critical hit.</li> </ul>Armor:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">AC works as normal, except…</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Armor has Damage Reduction (DR) applied only when you would take damage to your BHP</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Armor DR = AC-10</li> </ul>Hit Dice: In addition to healing<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">You can spend 1 HD to recharge a short rest ability</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">You can spend 1 HD to increase your speed for 1 round: add roll x2 in feet</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">You can spend 1 HD to increase damage: add roll to your damage</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">You can spend 2 HD to recharge a daily ability</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">You can spend 4 HD and an action to end 1 condition you are suffering.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">You must spend at least 1 HD anytime you are healed (even by magic)</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">You can spend HD to recover Exhaustion. 1 HD per level.
