| Mar 15, 2013 at 12:40 | comment | added | Tobias Kienzler | good point, though the scaling of heart containers can be fixed | |
| Mar 15, 2013 at 12:10 | comment | added | MSalters | Doesn't matter, actually. Numerically going from 300 health to 3000 health is equivalent to a reduction in damage taken by 90%. I.e. you can model the same effect as an "armor rating". | |
