Re: Dominion HP bonus and combat
 

Bern's got it right, and yes, healing happens at the end of the turn. The only major note to add is that life drain effects (drain life and soul vortex, etc) are also capped as a percentage of your max HP. I haven't checked what the ratio is, but I think it's something between 150 and 200% of your maximum.

THIS.
Manticore stock HP is 155, it had 403.
That is 160 % more. If one candle does 20 %, then its home had Dom 8. This would EXACTLY fit my description. Is it 20 % per dom ?
Good to know stats are only updated after battles.
However, it still doesnt explain why strength and stuff wasnt buffed. Is this really intentional or perhaps a bug thought be intention ?

Re: Dominion HP bonus and combat
 

All stats are calculated at current dominion values, but HP is the only stat that tracks a current and a max value which can diverge.

Answering my own question: Moving from a low dominion province to a higher one, a pretender arrives without full hp. He'll even have the little red bar to show he's wounded.

Sounds like a good time to start regenerating!
