However, for every minor wound subtract 1 die from the recovery; For every major wound reduce the pool by a further 3.  (I like Monte Cooks idea that recovery can happen the first time in combat, the second time immediately after, the third time after a short rest, the final time after a long rest, in any given adventuring period)Dice also charge after long rest, but during the rest minor wounds equal to Con bonus are restored, plus a Heal check DC25 can downgrade one major wound to a minor.One thing in playing around with this was calculating the dice pool. Rather than just using hit dice (simply to brutal at low level) instead you take your total hit points and divide by 4.5 (rounddown). To this then add your Con bonus, and you have this many d8s.So if Jon was a 3rd level fighter with a Con 15, in a game where first level is max + con he would have 27 hps (12+7.5+7.5); this converts into 6 hit dice + 2 for con, for a pool of 8d8.Anyway, hope that makes sense.</blockquote>
