I make roleplaying games

The Sir David Attenborough That Lives In My Brain: Being smaller-than-average presents an added challenge to foraging ... but necessity is the mother of invention. A little creativity turns a baguette into a tool, and voilà--

Three Bars

There are three-and-a-half "Bars" to manage in the game. First are the two health bars: "Active" and "Passive". Damage reduces both healthbars, but the Passive healthbar's damage cannot be healed. In effect, the passive healthbar is your maximum health, while the active healthbar determines your ability to act in the moment. Say you take 100 points of damage. The active healthbar drops by 100 points, but the passive bar will drop by 20 - so a heal afterwards will restore only 80 HP at maximum.

Second is the Stamina bar which reduces for every attack perfoemed. This is not a finite resource by any means, and restoring it is quite easy

Thirs is your MP (Magic Points) and acts functionally as the stamina bar for spellcasters, with a few minor changes.

Restoration When you lose a chunk out of any bar, it is always a good idea to restore it.

Active Health can be restored by any number of potions and spells. Heal spells always have negative priority in the queue, while potions are positive. Most heals are flat. Passive Health is only healed through explicitly resting, and therefore avoiding combat for an as-yet inderminate amount of time. However, Passive health is an all-or-nothing heal, and so you are guaranteed to return to 100% after the timespan regardless of previous level.

Stamina is resotred by taking a turn of either complete inactivity to fully restore stamina, OR selecting a non damaging skill or move which restores it in percentages.

MP is restored through potions ALONE. There is no other way to restore MP. This is so to keep mages from running away with any encounter with absurd damage output they are capable of.

The Consequences

Not having Active Health is a straightforward way to Die. Respawn mechanics following in some other update. Passive Health loss is a huge deal though. Dropping below 10% PH will lead to being "Exhausted". This Prevents healing of ANY form, unless restored immediately.

Not having enough Stamina stops you from being able to perform actions with high stamina costs, but more importantly perhaps, will cost two entire dormant turns to restore below 5%, and three if zeroed out.
