[QUOTE="pemerton, post: 5986463, member: 42582"] Besides D&D and its clones, what other games use D&D-style hp. In RuneQuest hit points [I]are[/I] meat (and do not grow in the D&D fashion). Likewise, I think, in HERO, C&S, and maybe GURPS. In Rolemaster, hp (called concussion hits) are part of your meat (roughly, hit point loss equals bruising and bleeding). Most serious damage is via condition-infliction ("criticals", in RM terminology). Traveller doesn't have hit points. From memory T&T is the same - damage is taken directly to stats - but my memory is a bit hazy. None of the "modern" RPGs uses hp, does it? Not HeroWars/Quest, not Burning Wheel, I assume not FATE-derivatives (I understand that FATE uses its tagging mechanic for a type of condition-infliction approach). Even Mutants & Masterinds doesn't use hp. What other RPGs do? [/QUOTE]
