I'm up for using this, actually. The Vitality/Wounds system looks well suited to Middle-Earth, however I'll require a nod from each player, otherwise we'll stick with the Hit Points and the group can source itself a healer NPC <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />Before voting yay, please take a moment to read the link provided by Shay (pasted above - please bookmark it if you're voting yay). Things to note: Con damage can have disastrous effects on life and limb with this system and there's a greater risk of sudden death from enemies capable of dealing large amounts of damage with a single hit. On the plus side, its easier to recover from battle or illness, and the higher the level the tougher your PC becomes.If we go with the variant rules, just swap your existing Hit Points for Vitality Points since we already started out with maximum HPs at level one. Ensure you also remember to add CON for each level. I forgot to check PC sheets that CON was added and suspect I forgot to mention it in my rather convoluted 'how to determine HPs' blitherfest.The class defence variant seems more fitting for a low-or-no-armour setting, like a seafaring campaign, or I guess a pre-metallurgy era. I know I've limited types of plate, but there's no reason for PCs to go unprotected by light variations of armour.Please note also: if you decide to vote nay on the variant rule, you needn't justify, or feel you need to justify, your reason to the group. Thanks for the revisions everyone. I'll scribe everything up onto hard copy character sheets and then we can start thinking about getting this game started.</blockquote>
