  You can't really do... math with bgscript. You might be able to make some assumptions based on class, or use CheckStat to figure out a better threshold based on their maxhp.

  I...wouldn't say that. You just have to do it "sideways" instead of with a nice neat function like other script languages. Here's the gist of it:

  IF
  HaveSpell(CLERIC_CURE_LIGHT_WOUNDS) // cures 8HP
  HPPercentLT(Myself,76) // at 25% (or more) down from Max
  CheckStatGT(Myself,31,MAXHITPOINTS) // I'm at 32 or more HP at maximum, so 25% of 32+ >= 8
  //....your other conditions
  THEN
  RESPONSE #100
  Spell(Myself,CLERIC_CURE_LIGHT_WOUNDS)
  END
  
  //For 50% or less of maximum
  IF
  HaveSpell(CLERIC_CURE_LIGHT_WOUNDS) // cures 8HP
  HPPercentLT(Myself,51) // at 50% (or more) down from Max
  CheckStatGT(Myself,15,MAXHITPOINTS) // I'm at 16 or more HP at maximum, so 50% of 16+ >= 8
  //....your other conditions
  THEN
  RESPONSE #100
  Spell(Myself,CLERIC_CURE_LIGHT_WOUNDS)
  END

  Tried and tested for years, in BP Series scripts. You can apply this for any percentage you like, and if you do the mathwork yourself it will work as intended. You'll not waste a single HP of "curing power" this way. You can alter the conditions to give a little leeway if you wish it (recommended for lower-level PC's/NPC's).

  Thanks for informative replies! I guess horredtheplague's method this is better than the "standard" method as BG Scripting language seems to be very limited. I will try it on my scripts.
