And I think it is important to try our best to tune this before play as much as possible to minimize the chance that a player gets penalized for favoring HP in the draft because if HP doesn't work out, it will be dropped. There are various limits I was considering but none apply to 'defensive' use of HP (like saving throws and nearly all skill use; some skill use is offensive, like combat feints but probably not worth counting those as attacks): <ol> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">Already there is the limit of one NPC can only have HP used against him once per round.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">We could add the additional cost that it gets more expensive for a PC to use HPs for attacks in the round following one where that same PC used HPs for an attack (I kind of like this myself)</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">We could add the additional cost that anyone using HPs for an attack in the same (or following?) round that any PC used HPs for an attack pays double</li> </ol>I like #1 and think we should keep it. I kind of like #2 but I'm not too keen on #3 since PCs start interfering too much with each other's actions. Also, I do want to keep the ability to expend boat-loads of HP and load up your to-hit, your critical and your damage die. I think that would be a good use and honestly, most players will save a few HP for the saves they really need to make and the rest for the 'killer strike' I would guess except in the case where someone has a large amount of HPs due to the cards. BTW don't let me forget but I need to add the ability to use HP to improve  your initiative.
