== Health, the Fourth Stat ==

Alongside Power (attack), Guard (defense), and Swiftness (speed), creatures now have '''{{Icon|ui-hp}} Health''', rolled at taming from per-species ranges. A high-roll Health tame of your favourite species is worth chasing.

* Health is a '''resource''': party members absorb a share of the damage from your fights into their own health pools. Higher guard means a smaller share taken.
* When a member's health hits zero it becomes '''injured''', and the existing injury system takes over.
* Health '''regenerates only while resting''' — a creature that is not working, not in your party, and not out on dispatch recovers about '''1 health every 30 seconds'''. This is why deep benches and rotation matter: wounded creatures need to sit out and heal.
