Maybe tack on crit fails, to allow for WP damage on botched save v fireball, etc.Agreed. It could even be implemented as the reverse, along the lines of the "bloodied" condition used in 4e. Eg, if a character drops to half WP, they get some sort of "resolve bonus" or activate a "hard to kill" trait or something to reduce further WP disadvantages-- in effect, forcing the death spiral in the counter direction.Like every other stat, WP/VP is just another design dimension that can work for or against a character, depending.</blockquote>
