[QUOTE="Sunseeker, post: 5872990"] Better than attempting to say that lance hit bypasses your 300 HP, it would be easier to simply reduce HP by 99%. I can believably say that lance made you dead when it does 10 damage and you have 9 health. Thing is though, any rule that says you gotta sit out for a week to heal is basically more ways to punish non-magical classes. And if we are to reference the fantasy genre, it is usually [I]not[/I] the guy who is accustomed to taking a beating who needs to sit out for a week. The tough, grizzled fighter who usually takes the brunt of the damage is usually the first one to walk out of the hospital, while the soft, weak wizard who has barely set foot outside his tower will often lay unconscious for months after taking "only a flesh wound". Personally, I'd say it'd be a lot easier than developing all sorts of complex damage, healing and weapon rules to simply take whatever HP 5e spits out and divide by 10. [/QUOTE]
