Talk:Measuring Vitality

ENERGY, BODY, LIFE

Exertion Point Value (EPV): 31.5

Body Points Value (BPV): ((Str+Sta+Con)*12/53)-1+(Mass*2/19)

Life Points Value (LPV):  (Con/20+StaB)*4+4

EP are typically lowered voluntarily to

• 1) spellcast or resist spells,
• 2) move quickly, carry loads, wear armor, etc;
• 3) parry, dodge, etc;
• 4) recover from fumbles, falls, etc.

At 0 EP, a being is exhausted and can't preform any EP-consuming voluntary action.

BP are lowered by being injured. At 0 BP a being is comatose and can't perform any voluntary action. If a being is down to 0 BP, further damage is done tp LP.

NOTE: at below 1/2 BP and above 0 BP, a being is 0+ BP and is still conscious.

LP are lowered by being badly injured. A being is -2% to Attack Skills and to ACtive Defense (Parry, Shield, Dodge) per LP injured. At 0 LP a being is dead.

Regeneration of EP

3 ep +  EP+LP/10

Check every hour of rest, every four hours of activity, or every day of coma.

EP+LP left	1-9	10-19	20-29	30-39	40-49	50-59	60-69	70-79
EP regained	3	4	5	6	7	8	9	10

Regeneration of BP and LP

• Occurs by transforming EP.
• EP may be transformed into LP at the rate of 5:1.
• EP mat be transformed into BP at the rate of 2:1.
• success chance if 5% x LP left.
• Success results in transforming HALF the remaining EP into LP or -- if no more LP are lost -- into BP. Check for BP or LP regeneration after each time EP are regenerated.
