The intervals could be called wound levels, although they wouldn't correspond to any action penalties. For instance, if your wound levels were 20 hp each, and you had four levels, you'd have 80 hp. If you took 25 points of damage, you couldn't normally be healed above 60 hp. If a big attack dropped you to 12 hp, you could be healed up to 20. Once you took a full day's rest, you'd be able to fill back up to 80. As I understand healing surges, this is mechanically similar, but just puts the health from all your surges on one track. I think it's less elegant, and greatly inflates health totals, but it might look more natural to some people, since your health would be gradually depleted throughout the adventuring day.</blockquote>
