Hit points

[Tyndmyr]

I've been thinking:

How unrealistic are HP, I've always explained it to myself as HP being a persons weariness in combat. So If and ogre swings an axe and it hits you...you dead so I've just always thought of an ogre hitting a barbarian as him dodging its attack, but that takes energy, and thus the waning of hitpoints is the exhaustion of the warrior, so when his HPs gets to -10, that ogre actually hit him with the axe. Doees this make any sense at all?

So, leaping off a cliff makes me tired, eh?

Likewise, being lit on fire?

Also, what do those "fatigued" and "exhausted" conditions stand for now?

I'm gonna have to go with no, this doesn't make sense.
