Hit points are supposedly representative 'rolling with the attack' (skill); actual physical harm (injury) and luck (among other things). So does that mean a Heal spell repairs your luck!?  I totally disagree. We ran some great games with the 1st Ed. Star Wars rules; they give heroes the edge but still retain the threat of defeat.Flawed logic. If it was so easy to become a hero - then the term hero itself is devalued.A hero is someone who battles though the odds are against them - not someone who can swan about with relative impunity.The greatest fantasy always has its roots in reality - thats how we relate to it. A logical treatment of damage/injury will only ADD to the game, not detract in any way!</blockquote>
