Message: <blockquote data-quote="Errant" data-source="post: 2214495" data-attributes="member: 1926">Anyone try/use any house rules for variant Hit Point or Vitality/Wound Point systems?I'm starting to get annoyed by how often it seems to be necessary to retreat & rest mid-adventure because fights whittle down the group a few HPs at a time.I'm contemplating implementing a system where Hit Points/Vitality Points naturally regenerate quickly (a point per level per minute of rest/light activity?) but critical hits cause Constitution Damage/Wound Points (1 point per dice maybe) that naturally regenerates much slower (something like 1 point per day of rest or dice of healing).So, after a moderate fight a PC or two might be limping from wounds inflicted by critical hits (with reduced maximum HPs), but a few minutes rest to catch their breath and they can choose to push on without necessarily burning half their healing magic.Sound viable? I want to keep it simple so there's minimum paperwork and encourage PCs to push on further before resting without making them overpowered. I don't see it as a negative if PCs are encouraged to conserve their spells on a fight by fight basis either. Yes, NPCs won't have to worry about that, but they've usually got less to draw on than the PCs anyway.</blockquote>
