[QUOTE="LostSoul, post: 61205, member: 386"] I've seen the VP/WP in Star Wars, and I've been using a variant of the same in my D&D game for the past 5 to 8 years. I think it works better than normal hit points; but still, when you get to high levels... An example from Star Wars: [b]Boushh[/b]: [i][in Ubese subtitled][/i] I want fifty thousand. No less. [b]Threepio[/b]: Fifty thousand. No less. [i]Jabba immediately flies into a rage, knocking the golden droid off the raised throne into a cluttering heap on the floor. Boushh adjusts his weapon as Jabba raves in Huttese and Threepio struggles back onto the throne. The disheveled droid tries to compose himself.[/i] [b]Threepio[/b]: Oh, no.... but what, what did I say? [i][to Boushh][/i] Uh, the mighty Jabba asks why he must pay fifty thousand. [i]The bounty hunter holds up a small silver ball in his hand.[/i] [b]Threepio[/b]: Because he's holding a thermal detonator. [i]Threepio is very nervous. The guards instantly back away, as do most of the other monsters in the room. But Boba Fett raises his gun. The room has fallen into a tense hush. Jabba begins to laugh.[/i] [b]Jabba[/b]: [i][in Huttese subtitled][/i] This bounty hunter is my kind of scum, fearless and inventive. In the game, a slightly different version: Carrie (as Boushh): "Fifty thousand, no less." I pull out my Thermal Detonator and try to Intimidate them. George (the GM): Okay, "Boushh", make a roll. Carrie: Oh crap... a 1. I just stand there, I guess. George (the GM): Jabba laughs. "Ho ho ho." He rambles on in Huttese. Boba Fett points his blaster at you. Carrie: I throw the detonator at him! George: Roll 8d6 for damage. Carrie: 29. George: Boba dusts off his suit and blasts you. The two guards next to Boba are dead, but everyone else is fine. Jabba's still laughing. Harrison: I guess thermal detonators are overrated, eh princess? [/QUOTE]
