My suggestion to not regen during combat is for a variety of
reasons, personally I don't think players should regenerate while
fighting (unless they've got an affect which gives them the ability
or their con is high enough for a regeneration affect).

This wouldn't work for me even if I was working in c/c++, I don't
have "levels" exactly.  You could do an attribute check tho, since
the majority of my regeneration factors are derived from your
attributes and/or affects.  There's alot of factors (including where
you are) that go into regeneration on my system.  I do math in
increments... your main value based on things like your attributes
which rarely change updates every so many seconds.  Then your actual
regeneration rate is modified by things like spell affects and what
room you're in (if you're renting a room at an inn you get a rate
bonus) those modify a "modifier" affect and although they rarely
change I keep those separate from the other modifiers.

I've got people regening a very small amount of hp every 15-30
seconds (I like to randomize things a bit).

To get into more detail on how things work in Aaern (my mud in
development) I'd have to go into extreme detail on handler
optimizations.
