Imagine little level 1 Joe Schmoe just getting knocked out by Jim Jerk. Compare how quickly Joe recovers to how quickly Rocky Balboa recovers after ten rounds with Apollo Creed. First, Joe's fight is over in 10 seconds or so when he was actually knocked unconscious. But he gets up in a few minutes and then goes about his day a little dazed. He's probably fully recovered by tomorrow. Second, imagine big level 10 Rocky Balboa whose fight lasted 10 rounds of 3 minutes each (30 minutes of fighting!), but who was not knocked out. He is rather loopy and takes a lot longer to get back to even normal life.Who took more punishment and who recovered faster? Not the same guy.We could argue about that, especially considering how HP could mean physical damage or luck. A martial artist (higher level human), can't really take more damage, but he's more nimble, and thus doesn't take damage. So it could be damage reduction, or it could just be that he's a higher level, and therefore 10 damage to my wife means something very different than 10 damage to a karateka.The ibuprofen wasn't for pain. It was for reducing the swelling. Again, her concern was more cosmetic ("I look like a Klingon") than it was pain or healing.</blockquote>
