I like it alot.Elric/Stormbringer has a system similar to DnD with three major exceptions. First, your HP total is equal to your CON score. Period. Weapons still deal the usual 1D8 for a longsword, etc. Second, attacks are resolved by opposed skill checks. Strong defense scores makes for a more survivable character.  Third, armor is ablative and comes with a die rating. Hard boiled Leather, for example, stopped 1D8-1 points of damage.Of course there is also WEG SW in which you had a threshold value. Any damage that dealt less than that was ignored. More than that raised your 'wounded' status.</blockquote>
