Poster 2:  Ah, but what if D? Poster 1:  If D is not A, then C. Poster 2:  Ah, but what if A? Poster 1:  If A then B. Poster 2:  Ah, but what if not-A? Poster 3:  Since you are arguing that X is Y..... etc.Some days, it seems that there is scant little else being posted in a thread.So far, so good.  You will note that the canonical pre-4e hit points are not, in fact, the hit points of 4e.Also note that there is nothing in the canonical pre-4e hit point description that says a character is not wounded, should not role-play being wounded, whatever.So you say.That it is not a new complaint does not make it a good complaint.Um.....Why should this be so?Does a bruised and battered top athelete regain his top form with a quick swig of gin and a second to breathe?  He gets better than I am, sure, but the system as written already accounts for that.Considering that "his wind" is back when he has 10% of his hit points, in comparison to any ordinary person, this is clearly untrue.No.  Really not accurate at all."Even the slightest"?  <img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/laugh.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":lol:" title="Laughing    :lol:" data-shortname=":lol:" />Does 2 hp damage put our 100 hp hero at the level of his 25 hp foes?  No.Does 75 hp damage put our 100 hp hero at the level of his 25 hp foes?  In terms of hp, yes (although probably not in terms of chance to hit, saving throws, or other things).Does 95 hp damage put our 100 hp hero in dire straits against his 25 hp foes?  Yes.In real life, people who are great at what they do are noticably less good from minor things that wouldn't change how good I am.  That hit points actually can and do reflect this is not a deficiency in the system.YMMV.RC</blockquote>
