Shifted characters get HP refresh every 10 min

Not sure if this is a bug or not, but when I was seriously wounded, and in my bear form, the shifting animation kicked in again and I recieved quite a few hit points back.

I'm not done there.

Also in bear form, I was down to 7HP (got 6 from drinking an aid potion) and all of sudden I fell to my side and I couldn't move or rest. Said I cound't perform this action while in this state (Or something like that). And I clearly wasn't dead, as my companion was still there. And nothing changed when I reverted back to my normal form. After awhile I decided to relog and came back dead.

Any idea on either one?

its a bug and as far as I knwo there is no amount of dm help or players trying to heal or rez that can help you have to relog sadly happened tons on another server

The re-shifting also happens with the Polymorph and Shape Change spells a Wiz/Sorc gets. As an Iron golem, I get half my 472hp's back each time you re-shift - not that I'm complaining

However, if you are down to your last few HP's and you want to rest, always use one heal kit before you hit that rest button, otherwise I noticed you can drop down to 0Hp's which is not dead as you stablized, but you can't do anything other than pray a cleric passes your way...
If you log when you have 0HP's, you are dead when you log back in.

Just learn to use a heal kit before you try and rest and this wont bite you.

Thanks to you both.

Redder, unfortunately you can't use a heal kit while polymophed, well I can't, and I had atleast 1HP left. *shrugs*

In PnP D&D whenever you wildshape/shift or polymorph you gain HP's back as if you had a full days rest.

That's probably not a bug, but part of the rules...

No, but you can drink potions.

Ok, so after doing some reading I think I know what causes this. It can be good and bad ...

Basically whenever the server saves all the characters that are active in the world it causes players that are shifted or polymorphed to go back into the original caster form for a split second. This causes the player to be rehealed as if they had just shifted. (One days rest plus all the extra hit points gained from any CON increase.) That's the good part ...

The bad part is when you're reshifted like this it causes any bonuses to your attack and/or armor class gained from equipment that had melded into the shape to go away. The only thing you can do at this point is reshape manually, which can be a problem if you're running low on uses per day ...
