[QUOTE="variant, post: 5878054, member: 41293"] You still have hit points. It isn't as if it would be a gritty system where you have 10 hit points throughout your adventuring career. Arguing that "this such and such system over here does "such and such" isn't a valid argument against this system. Naturally things such as damage, hit points, and hit chacne have to be scaled and balanced for the system. Damage reduction does protect you from getting hurt. Hit points are not health points. Leveling up doesn't magically make you able to take 5 longswords wounds to the gut and keep walking. In typical D&D, your weapon basically has zero effect on how easy it is to penetrate armor. A claymore which was built to penetrate heavy armor has no greater chance to hit against someone with their AC from armor than someone with the exact same AC from being nimble. Also, when it does it, the half-inch of steel between the attacker and flesh is no different than the light summer clothes and cloak. [/QUOTE]
