[QUOTE="Emerikol, post: 6324264, member: 6698278"] Mecha if you assume as I do that magical healing can repair living tissue but not create then the whole chopping off of the hand argument goes away. Yes you can be at max hit points and be missing a hand. That is because your stump is fully healed. Do you not agree though that for practical purposes that if you could get to one hit point and not be physically injured even once in your game that the argument applies in principle. I will agree though that given either view a person could also take a different stance on inspiration. No matter how I defined hit points I would never go for inspirational healing. I do not believe a morale boost will make me defend my own life better. If anything it might make me more willing to risk my life. A rallying cry does not make it more likely you will live. It makes it more likely you won't run. [/QUOTE]
