That I don't see how since the "videogame" method was usually the HP method of D&D for a LONG, LONG time. Indeed, I've read vide games designers who explicitly mention the idea of regneration (which has become somewhat of the default healing method in videogames these days) was a move towards trying to make the world more believable since it was easier to justify a being have quick healing than having to mysteriously find an inechaustible supplu of healing potions/wands.</blockquote>
