  I don't know if there is actually a way to do this - it may be hardcoded right 
now, but there must be some diffrence, as I know karate is faster than dragon 
clawing even at the same level.

  Well, I'd argue that if I can go into a room with 0 hp and be sure to survive 
fighting kobolds, something is a bit off.

  but my original point was also that if I'm at 0 (or near zero hp) and low 
level, what can I do?  Arguably, fighting anything should have some danger, and 
given that hp level, a stray hit could kill me.  Yet if I don't get hp back by 
waiting, I'm sort of stuck - I basically have to risk death to get the hp back.

  I wonder if level should also come into play?  I could otherwise see more 
moderate level wraiths who have very few hp thinking 'hey, I should go to the 
newbie dungeon to suck up some hp', which probably isn't what we really want. 
That 8th level wraith probably shouldn't get nearly as many hp back fighting 
kobolds if we want to try and discourage that behaviour.
