[QUOTE="ExploderWizard, post: 4546044, member: 66434"] The body point system was originally written for my own complete system. I just took some basic concepts out of it to make it more usable with D&D editions. The whole idea behind body points NOT scaling is because thats what hit points are for. Body points do not take hero status into account ( other than having a super high CON, that is:p) and that is intentional. The problem with scaling the body points is that they then just become another abstract pool of hit points thats called something else. A hero can last in a fight because he is a hero. A hero cannot sustain a greatsword through the chest because he is a hero. The body point concept might not work for everyone. If you want a hero to be able to stand up and carry on the fight, no matter how physically wounded, from warlord style healing then body points are the wrong answer. [/QUOTE]
