I prefered not to use the Constitution score, because essentially nothing in the rules uses scores any more - almost everything is bonus-based, so I felt that using the score does not fit the spirit of the rules as well as using 10 + bonus, but ultimately it works out almost the same. I also needed to create a bigger buffer for the unconscious and dying range, due to the characters losing d6 hit points per round rather than merely 1 hit point, which I changed because I wanted to decrease the rate of determinism ("he has 6 rounds left before he dies, let's not worry about him for now"...) at which death occurs. I also use luck points, but I use my own system for them, which would be for another discussion altogether. In any case, I do think disabled/unconscious/dying rules are subject to so much house-ruling that it would make change to just change the rule. Almost all the house rules I have seen (and certainly all that I have seen in this thread thus far) for this are better than the default rule...</blockquote>
