[QUOTE="DND_Reborn, post: 8682154, member: 6987520"] Thanks. It is something I have been playing around with for a [I]LONG[/I] time, using hit point maximum... The idea is a derivative of the vitality / wounds system of d20 SW. I liked the idea that: 1. critical damage (formerly "hit") goes directly to "wounds"-- or in the case of 5E, since I didn't want to use Constitution, I figured maximum hit points. Using the options in the OP, this could be half the damage to hit point maximum maybe? 2. overflow damage when you go to 0 hit points would also go to hit point maximum instead of being lost. #2 accurately represents the RAW idea that remaining damage equal to your hit point maximum is instant death. With the ideas in the OP, that would hold true: if your hit point maximum reaches 0, you die. Yeah, something like this might work as well. At this point, what I want to do first is apply damage to hit points and half to hit point maximum, but only on failed saves, unexpected attacks, and hazard damage. [/QUOTE]
