[QUOTE="Hussar, post: 6471345, member: 22779"] That's the thing Saelorn, it didn't take weeks to heal. It took days. Until you hit fairly high level in 1e and 2e (which had instantaneous non-magical healing per the Healing profiency) it took days to heal. Who says Golems and Undead can't heal? I don't recall reading that anywhere. In fact, I cannot recall any discussion whatsoever of healing rates for non-humanoids. The only thing the healing rates actually cover are PC races. How fast does a Yeti heal? Does a Polar Bear heal faster or slower than a badger? Or, does everything in the world always heal at the same rate? Moldvay Basic takes it even further. It flat out states that HP have no meaning whatsoever - it's simply a game mechanics to determine whether you are alive or dead. Did they expand on that in later Basic/Expert rules? There are so many giant glaring holes in the interpretation of HP as meat that I have trouble wrapping my head around it. You have to ignore so much of what's going on to arrive at that conclusion.
