    Not to sound mean but you do realize percentages are fractions. What you want is an actual display of the remaining HP like 3000/10000, which admittedly may look like a fraction but isn't.

    I like helping people with their Job ideas, it's fun to help them visuallize and create the job they'd like to play most. Plus I make my own too, I'll post them eventually.

    No, they're not. Percentages are convertible to fractions, and some fractions are convertible to percentages. (If you allow some loss of precision through rounding, then all fractions can be roughly converted to percentages.)

    No, that one really is a fraction.

    I think I will rephrase to help you better understand what I meant. Percentages, decimals, and fractions are basically all the same thing but are just different ways of expressing the same numerical value, ie. 1/3 is 33.3% or .333. However fractions are a bit different as the can express the whole in a greater number if need be; 8/24, 6/18, 4/12, 2/6, all are equal to 1/3, but the fraction shows that the whole is greater than 3 pieces, or so.

    I am aware that it is a fraction. Now while there is no way for me to explain without it seeming like I'm trying to argue a fact, I'll just leave it at that.
