So if a monster deals 2d4 + 6 damage and the DM rolls 2 and 4, the character would take 8 points of vitality damage and 4 points of wound damage.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"> Since most monsters don't survive past a single combat, they can use the old fashioned hit point system.</li> </ul>That was an interesting read and I encourage everyone to give it a good look. I don't have a strong opinion on the idea, but I do like it.</blockquote>
