[QUOTE="Dragonblade, post: 459813, member: 2804"] I don't like the WP/VP system. It may be more "realistic" but I don't want realism. I play RPG's so I can be a kickass hero just like in the movies! No crit takes Arnold down in Terminator! Or Stallone down in Rocky! No sir, it was lots of damage coming off lots of HP and thats the way I like it! I don't think the Hero should be in danger of death in the first round of combat just because the bad guy rolls a crit. Talk about anti-climactic! Hero's are cool because they kick butt and survive horrible damage not because they succumb to it. If you don't like the idea of someone surviving getting hit by a machine gun and walking away with nary a scratch, then just interpret HP as near misses. Like someone said before, both HP and WP/VP are an abstract system of tracking damage that moves the game forward. But HP encourages heroism and daring far more than WP/VP does and thats why I prefer it. [/QUOTE]
