Fast Healing[edit]
Fast healing 1 is really great; it lets you return to full health after a few minutes of relaxation. Fast healing 5 does a similar thing; the time between when a character takes its first couple points of damage and when it is killed is seldom more than 3 rounds, so the in-combat HP granted by Fast Healing 5 is only maybe 12 more than the in-combat HP granted by Fast Healing 1. If the creature optimizes for hit-and-run, it could almost as easily sweep by every 50 rounds as every 5 (the enemy has more time to run away or whatever in the former case).
Fast Healing doesn't scale as nicely with level as bonus HP per HD does: the number of rounds per combat does not necessarily increase. Thus, you could potentially consider multiplying the fast healing granted by Unholy Regeneration at higher levels. --Foxwarrior 18:49, 30 July 2012 (UTC)
