How much is that doggy in the window?

Yes, a cutesy title for a post about Ninjitsu's dog and cat form. Both offer high levels of hit point regeneration (HPR), almost doubling the HPR cap at 100 Ninjitsu skill and above. Here is a table I built while gathering info on TC1:

Ninjitsu  HPR
   40      15
   50      18
   60      22
   70      25
   80      28
   90      32
  100+     35

Humans have an inherent HPR of 2, which adds to the numbers in the table. (Actually I only tested dog form, but I assume the cat form numbers would be the same.) With the HPR cap at 18, is there any reason that the HPR values go so high? I'm thinking there might be a curse or some side effect of a spell which might lower HPR.

I believe the HPR cap is only from item contribution. The overcapped HPR from Dog/Cat form stacks on top of it and will be fully effective. Similar to how Lich form as a Necromancer will push you over 30MR and still be effective.

@Khyro, cool. Now the numbers make more sense. So if you are a Necromancer with Horrific Beast form or a Ninja with dog/cat form, you don't want to bother with HPR on armor or weapons.

Wrong regen but it did make me wonder if the math is the same.
