It's implemented backwards in DS2. If you look at DS3, you get HP when you have ember and lose it when you die. If DS2 started you out with less HP and let you gain HP through other mechanics, it would feel much better. Definitely a bit of a stumble.

I know I'm really late to this, but I actually prefer ds2 and des way of doing it over ds3. Because they present embering as a buff, it makes it feel like your base health is pitiful compared to the other games. Having it presented as a reduction gives you more incentive to be human, and interact with the multiplayer and stuff. Plus in those games you can get items to mitigate it, while you cant in 3 iirc.
