[QUOTE="NotAYakk, post: 8014054, member: 72555"] So, imagine a system where you first try to set up a killing blow, then you strike. You accumulate threat points against someone to do this. They can erode your points by attacking back. Only after passing a threshold can you land a blow. To oreserve D&D HP attrition, permit people threatened to burn [I]HD[/I] to roll when they are removing threat from an attacker. Having thrm add to your d20s directly just seems natural. Alice attscks Bob, rolls 2d20 and gets 1 threat (hit). Bob attacks back, rolls 2d20 and scores a crit - 3 threat. The first eats Alice's threat, leaving 2. Alice rolls 2d20 and neither hits. Crap. She burns 2 HD and boosts both to a hit, and clear's Bob's threat. Bob attacks back, scores 2 threat. Alice scores just 1; she burns a HD but it isn't enough to boost her miss into a hit. Bob goes. He has a threat, and chooses to try to connect. He scores 1 hit; 1 threat + 1 it is 2 total, so HP damage not meat. He rolls: 15 damage. Alice soaks by rolling HD; 4(+2), 6(+2) 2(+2). Ouch, 3 HD burned. Alice is in rough shape. Down 6 HD. At least Bob is out of threat! [/QUOTE]
