But in the context of bullets vs. HP I don't think it works at all. Maybe if people have body armor and those initial rounds are always assumed to be catching them in the vest...but that would get pretty silly pretty fast.I'm not saying this as a knock on D&D, btw. I think systems are best when they're tuned to a given genre/setting/tone, and while I think HP can be goofy af sometimes, the way you're interpreting it fits well in a mythic, high-fantasy context.EDIT: Forgot to add that I just don't think bullets/guns work with D&D-style fantasy, the same way that a guy charging into a modern gunfight with a wooden shield wouldn't work. I know there are tons on here that disagree, but I don't think 5E or any derivative works as that kind of general toolbox.</blockquote>
