It was based on level and hit dice. So, for instance, after a battle, a 3rd level fighter might roll 3d10 to see how many HP she recovers, a 3rd level mage would roll 3d4, etc.Of course, the in-game explanation was a recovery from fatigue, not damage/injury.This worked well, kept things simple, helped move play along, extended the "work day," except in the case of exceptional rolls kept heroes from returning to full power after each battle/encounter, and there wasn't anything to track except Hit Points.</blockquote>
