This can be easily implemented in two ways.
First let's define hitpoints per energy.
hpe = (regained hitpoints per gameturn) / 100.0
Then simply change the current_hitpoint type to a float, and then rest can
use
precisely 1 energy and increase hipoints by hpe. The biggest pain would
be
reading in old savefiles.
If you refuse to change the data type, then again make rest use 1 energy,
but
increase hitpoints by 1 with probability hpe. I doubt the player would
notice
much difference.
