So then, you read the rules? Yea, sounds like a butt load of fun, eh? All in all, it makes no fucking sense, it is no fun and in the show it has been shown that ponies are *extremely* durable. Those rules are perfectly realistic...for humans. As such, we could use those rules as they are, but just have all ponies have following traits:

 

- Recovery -

You recover from unconsciousness very quickly. When determining the length of time you remain unconscious for any reason, divide all times by 60: Hours become minutes, minutes become seconds...even a month -long coma becomes a mere 12-hour sleep.

 

- Rapid Healing -

Whenever you roll to recover lost HP or to see if you can get over a crippling injury, you get +5 to your roll.

 

- Regeneration (Slow) -

You heal 1 HP every 12 hours no matter what, in addition to all other healing.

 

- High Pain Threshold -

You are as suceptible to injury as any human, but you don't *feel* it as much. You never suffer shock penalty when injured.(Shock rules might be part of the ESSS someday) In addition, you get +3 to resist knockdown and stunning and have a +3 to resist any other form of debilitating pain.

 

- Limb Recovery -

Ponies recover from broken bones and similar *extremel* quickly(Raindow Dash was in the hospital for a broken wing for about 3 days and complained more of boredom than pain). Lasting crippling wounds have their duration reduced to weeks instead of months and *days* instead of weeks if tended to by a physician. Permanent injuries become Lasting Injuries but still last months, or weeks if tended to by a physician. This trait does not help with dismemberment.

 

- Hard to Kill 5 -

All ponies have a +5 on all rolls to resist death.

 

 

Given these traits, I think pony medical physiology is quite well statted, leaving a normal non sub-0 HP wounded adventurer out for a few days or even not at all, one with a crippling wound or -HP for a few days to a week and someone with absolutely crushing wounds out for a few weeks, which seems fair to me. Hell, going by cartoon logic, I could go waaaaay beyond this and make 'em even more durable.
