A character is hard to kill, not because he doesn't get hurt, but because he has the ability to rapidly recover from serious damage. While it depends on how fast he can heal and how much of a [[Chunky Salsa Rule|beating]] his body can take, a character with healing factor will bounce back from severe injuries that other beings can't, often with no scars or medical treatment.
Line 233:
* The "Undying" of the ''Horseclans'' series are of this type (''not'', as one might think, type 2). They're vulnerable to suffocation and subject to the [[Immortal Procreation Clause]].
* Tess from ''[[The Black Saint]]'' was born with this gift. Can be used as [[Healing Hands]] once they realise drinking someone's blood functions as [[Power Copying]].
* Marco in ''[[Strata]]'' gets a huge quantity of "repair enzymes" in his blood whenever he fights. The result is that any wounds heal fully almost as fast as they're made - although it's implied that he can't regenerate limbs, at least not quickly.
** The crew has access to a [[Healing Potion]] that can regrow limbs in a few hours, though.
