I was wondering whether anyone has used the concept of Reservce Points from Unearthed Arcana in either their D&D 3.5 game or Pathfinder RPG game, if so how did it go?
The idea is you have an number of reserve points equal to your max hit points, and these can be used to recover from HP damage by transferring from reserve points to HP at a rate of 1 per minute. It effectively gives a PC twice as many HP per day, but with the normal maximum HP for any particular fight.
I have used it in a couple different 3.5 settings. If you have less than optimal healers, it works okay. In a system without healers, it works at low levels but not higher when you might need a heal spell during combat.
I prefer the vitality point system for games without healers.
