I want to use something like D20 Modern's damage threshold, which is if someone takes more damage than their constitution score they must make a fort save DC 15 or be reduced to -1 hp. D&D's massive damage at a fixed value of 50 points of damage is like that but too high for what I want, D20 Modern is too low.
I've been thinking that my damage threshold should be one of the following...
Con x 2
Con x 3
Level + Con x 2
Level x 2 + Con
I want the threshold being breached more often than D&D, but less often than D20 Modern, taking into consideration sneak attacks, power-attack with 2-handed weapons, spells which do caster level x 1d6 damage and the most powerful medium weapon being the military rifle which does 2d8 damage. I know in some cases the threshold could exceed 50 for characters with really high constitution scores.
As a result of falling into dying more often, characters only die when they reach 10+(character level) hp below 0.
If anyone has any better ideas as well, I'd like to hear it.
