I stumbled upon this just doing some rudimentary searches for what it takes to make a circular health bar.
http://answers.unity3d.com/questions/14770/creating-a-circular-progressbar-timer.html
I know it can be done with animations but I would rather not have to cut up what I have into an unknown amount of pieces which I'll then have to settle being the max HP limit in my game.
Just curious.

"which I'll then have to settle being the max HP limit in my game."
You don't have to settle with amount of frames being the max HP limit at all...
Do this with any kind of animation: Force animation frame to (HP/MaxHP)*Animationframes

I have a custom hp bar that uses only 50 frames but 50 is far from the max. my character object has an alterable value called max hp. the counters max amount is always set to the characters max hp stat, therefor its not limited by frames, but there will be times character takes damage but a notch isnt removed.
[Game design makes my brain feel like its gonna explode.]

I looked into this myself, and it is not an easy task unless you know your way around some complex extensions, i believe it can be done with the "Surface" object or the (now retired) "overlay Redux" object. It is no easy task but can be done!

If you're using standard and not HWA you can make an active that is a small line, set its hotspot half the intended diameter to the left of it, then rotate it around its axis using always - set angle to angle + 1.
Make sure 'save background' is turned off for the active. You can clear the screen with white when it's done.

I'd just use an animation.
Yes, the precision is limited by the number of frames, but that's going to be the case with any kind of display - the precision of a horizontal bar is limited by its width in pixels, but it doesn't stop anyone from using them, and the player doesn't have any problem accepting that 1 pixel = 5HP or whatever.
