So if you took 7 points of damage, it would lower your max HP by 7. If you took 36 points of damage, it would lower your max hp by 36. As a consequence, at higher levels, you usually sustain more debilitating injuries, largely. This is because you are facing dragons that eat you, rather than goblins that stab you. This damage is called your Long-Term Damage.#3: Long-term injury won't heal by itself. Healing it requires a complex Heal skill check over the course of one week for every 10 points of long-term damage you have. A Regeneration spell halves the time it takes the Heal skill to recover that damage. That's pretty quick and dirty, and it forgoes "-2 penalties" for just nearly-permenant hp reduction, but it also means that if you want to soldier on despite the long-term injury that you can.</blockquote>
