[QUOTE="Anabstercorian, post: 178879, member: 2550"] The way I deal with the Hit Point Conundrum is simple - Hit Points are a supernatural quality of the game world that represent an unusually powerful life force. Anything above 4 hitpoints for a human represents a supernatural ability to instantly heal wounds with a sudden flash of light as you burn spiritual energy. Almost everything in the world has this ability. No, it's not traditional, and you'll never see it in any fantasy novel, but it's cool. It even works nicely with the optional "realistic" rules. If you got Clobbered, sucking up such a massive chunk of your spiritual reservior was draining to you. If you're Coup De Graced, they slammed the weapon in to the wound, held it there, and twisted as your wound sizzled, seared, tried to heal, and then you finally died, five seconds or so later - Thus the full round action. And when you're healed, you're renewing your spiritual energy supply with a surge of positive life force. Negative energy cancels out your positive energy supply, and so on. Try it. It's wacky and cool. [/QUOTE]
