I'm not sure I understand this. How about an example? A frag grenade does 5d6 points of damage. Would this end up doing 5 points of damage?
Yes. The conversion works reasonably well at low levels using S&W HP's. 5d6 Damage is about half the HP's of an ordinary MF human (CON 10, so 10d6 HD). 5 Damage is a little more than half for a level 1 S&W character. So thats about the same.
The problem is, S&W character HP's increase. So a level 6 S&W character (6d6 HD, ave 21 HP's) would laugh off a couple of 5 Damage frag grenades.
Which is why I don't like increasing HP's.
I don't think that there is an easy solution as the two games are built around differing premises. The best compromise is a conversion that works at the lower levels of S&W hps, as this is where the characters will be for a while.
