[QUOTE="Emerikol, post: 6322869, member: 6698278"] Let's just say for the sake of argument that for a medium humanoid that the meat part is hit points up to their constitution score. All hit points above that score represent these other things. I am of the proportional school of thought on this. I see each hit as removing some from the top and some from the bottom. What is removed from the bottom may in fact be fractional at times. If a fighter has 64 hit points and takes 8 damage then 2 of that damage is meat and 6 is other stuff. So when healing occurs what is happening is the meat is being restored and by default the rest automatically comes back. That is why I favor proportional healing based upon the level of the target. Your CLW will actually do more hit points when cast on a 10th level character than it does on a 2nd level character. You can't remove from the top without removing some smaller part from the bottom. I mean YOU could but I would not. My view would not allow it is what I'm saying. This system has stood me well for all versions of D&D except 4e and 5e. I had hoped 5e would provide options that would enable me to get back to my hit point definition. They won't do that by their own words. So I will likely play a different game that better suits my style. I don't feel the houserule job is worth it for a company that doesn't seem to care that much for my style. As I've said elsewhere, thac0 made it into the DMG as an option. But no alterative to second wind exists. To me thats an out of touch developer crew. I'm not really angry. I'm just determined. I don't want to help them succeed though they likely will anyway I'm not saying I'll make a difference. I don't want to be a part of their success. I'll go help the game developer that is working hard to provide support for my playstyle. I'm thinking Castles and Crusades (C&C). [/QUOTE]
