He now has: 11hp and 0rdBob drinks a healing potion, healing 8hp. He gains 2rd (8/4). He now has: 19hp and 2rd.Bob battles another monster taking 10hp damage. He now has: 9hp and 2rd.He is healed by his cleric to the tune of 11hp, gaining 3rp (11/4 rounded up). He now has: 20hp and 5rd.He battles another monster taking 8hp damage. He now has: 12hp and 5rd.He suffers more damage this time 8hp. He now has: 4hp and 5rd. Because his current Hit Points are below his Residual Damage, Bob becomes Fatigued (-2 STR and -2 DEX).He is healed by his cleric to the tune of 8hp. He now has: 12hp and 8rd, so he is no longer Fatiged.Bob takes a nights rest in a safe spot, gaining 4hp (2hp per level) and losing one quarter of his Residual Damage (7/4 = 2 rounded up). He now has: 16hp and 6rd.The next day in a dramatic battle Bob loses 20hp, falling unconscious and almost dying. He now has: -4hp and 6rd.He is healed by the party's cleric to full Hit Points. 24hp healing gains him 6rd. He now has: 20hp and 12rd. This is become dangerous, as Bob will quickly become fatigued in battle the party decide to rest up for a while.Time for a proper break. Looking at the Residual Damage healing table the player knows Bob will need to rest for four days. After four days rest in his own bed, with the loving care of his mummy, Bob now has: 20hp and 0rd.</blockquote>
