Undead Resting
Can I ask for folks interpretation of the Undead origin and rests. It appears from reading that they only ever have 1 hit die regardless of the level, so they may have say 80HP at x level but still only one hit die. I think there's a typo also in that the rules state that they do not heal naturally as normal on a short and long rest, well, there is never any natural healing on a short rest, only a 'free' max hit die plus CON on a long rest. On a long rest if they eat flesh they can restore the single hit die (unlike other origins who have to wait for extended rests to regain all their used hit die). Does this sound right? It seems that after a big fight at higher levels, unless they have some magic healing to hand, and say they had lost a considerable amount of hit points a short rest or long rest would severely hamper their recovery ability.

Re: Undead Resting
I think the "no natural healing on a SHORT or long rest" was me future-proofing, or maybe a draft where a class or feat would have allowed that; the free max HD of healing for a long rest certainly qualifies as natural healing.Can I ask for folks interpretation of the Undead origin and rests.

Playing an undead is tough – they have some big advantages, but also big disadvantages.

Re: Undead Resting
I read it as "you have no (normal) hit die" but "on a long rest you can...restore your single Hit Die which you can then use to a) restore HP or b) reduce Temp. Corrupt". (There are other uses for Hit Dice and you don't get them...).
So I'd say, each day (long or extended) if you have blood/flesh, you can recover the HP of 1HD.
It sucks. But you are "dead".
- short rest - no recovery as you have no HD
- long rest - only blood/flesh let's you recover via 1HD only
- extended rest - you have no natural healing, so you don't "regain all your HP". You don't have HD to be recovered. An Extended rest is a Long Rest (or rather, each day of Extended is a Long rest
