That's how I have always interpreted ATR, also meaning that at ATR 1 they have to eat 6 times a day and sleep twice. (Or, basically have two 12 hour days in every day)

I must admit I don't remember a ruling one way or another about whether (the Limitation version of) Costs HP causes Shock. I do recall that spending HP on Basic Set Magic has a non-shock but shock-like effect:
But do note that it's a rule that only applies specifically to spells, and not to other rolls, and isn't shock and doesn't follow any other shock rules.

Re: Extreme Regeneration and Costs HP
 

I have a ruling that HP lost to "cost HP" cannot be recovered by heal/healing spells/regeneration.

But the HP lost to using too many FP can be recovered normally.

The combination seems to work well enough.

Re: Extreme Regeneration and Costs HP
 

Really? Seems like if they where to get healed by someone else it would be fair enough. I mean, if you burn FP you can have it recovered by a mage with lend energy.

Re: Extreme Regeneration and Costs HP
 

Do you apply a similar ruling to Regeneration (-0% ER Only)? If yes, why, if no, why?

Re: Extreme Regeneration and Costs HP
 

Being able to be healed by others can cause feedback loops. So a blanket no just makes things clearer.

The basic idea is that cost HP is a serious limitation. I make it clear for players who want to take cost HP as a modifier.

Re: Extreme Regeneration and Costs HP
 

In my current campaign FP is the limiting resource usually, hiit points are often a problem temporarily, but given the fairly easy access to healing, regeneration and healing elixirs, they are easy to recover.

Thus to keep the limiting, I do not allow Regeneration of ER/FP and things like breath control are heavily nerfed and there is no recover energy spell and so on..

So the actual need for such rule is not needed, as the limit is enforced in other ways.

Re: Extreme Regeneration and Costs HP
 

Temporary Disadvantage (-X HP) would be -2% per level. The extra value is presumably because it costs you that every minute and you only get it back daily, so faster healing should be lower disad.

Re: Extreme Regeneration and Costs HP
 

Mana-based magic does change the dynamics between FP and HP (as does the Healing power to a certain degree, which is why I tend to limit the Healing power to Empathic Healing only). When you have only the Path of Healing from Path/Book Ritual Magic and Empathic Healing as a power, PCs tend to be a little more careful about their HP (even with magic and/or powers) and worry less about their FP.

Re: Extreme Regeneration and Costs HP
 

Ah, so you're talking in the context of a campaign setup which significantly differs from the default assumptions about the availability of speeding up resource recovery.
