[QUOTE="LotusBlossom, post: 4504155, member: 78402"] Never thought of getting rid of HP entirely. The idea is interesting, but not sure how multiple participants would work. One would need a matrix to represent all the good guys against all the bad guys. Area of effect spells would also have to be worked into it: if someone 'injured' all the bad guys through an AOE spell, would it flip all the markers to the advantage of all the good guys or just the mage. I have my doubts about this as a workable replacement for HP, but it does sound similar to the 4E skill challenge system where one needs multiple rolls to get the job done. One could start in the middle of this track (representing the current situation) and as progress was made along the track, the PCs would be getting closer to the final goal, or for setbacks, they would be moved back towards the center or even to the other side (representing negative conditions). Interesting idea overall and good food for thought. [/QUOTE]
