It's similar to spell points, and these can be recovered at an hourly rate. The GM can treat this like ill side-effects, and allow an alternate recovery rate as appropriate.Hit points/soaking damage: assuming you mean something like Zweihaender, in which characters move along a health-track.  A quick house-rule for this might be, "characters have a health box for every 4 full points of Physical score.  Whenever an opponent's damage exceeds your protection roll, mark a health box as Wounded."Vampire Dice Pools: the rules are presented in five-page catalog format (and explained in full-book format) in order to facilitate modifying them. You could use a custom Skills List that was a list of personality traits, and let PCs choose which trait to apply to the attribute contest in question. Or you could let each skill point in the default skill list represent a die type, from d4 - d12. The modular format also allows you to ditch the Combat and Magic rules or make your own modules for these, as crunchy as you like.</blockquote>
