Got that really tough looking fighter with triple figure hit points over there thats sending chills up your spine...hit him with a doom, or a sleep, or a hold person.You didnt have to tackle him on his terms (his terms being a massive hit point pool). You could bypass his hit points and tackle him a different way. I remember in 2e when a mage appeared the fighters got scared! Not because he could throw fireballs (they had the HP to withstand those), but because he could shut them down.My issue with basing spells on hit points is that now, HP is your spell resistance. What is suggested here is an alternate way of handling to what WOTC is pushing, but its still HP=Spell resistance.Im just afraid with this that all players will need to do is stack every cheeseball loophole they can find (and they will find them) to stack HP, and your done. Thats your damage resistance AND your spell resistance all rolled into one.</blockquote>
