[QUOTE="Scribble, post: 4456759, member: 23977"] I know they weren't, but if you want to start arguing that specific effects or hit locations should be more damaging then others, then they are needed. I agree with the argument 3e made saying that your charactyer is ALWAYS trying to achieve the best effect possible, hence HP being more abstract. I further agree that HP aren't always a direct hit, or physically damaging effect. Damaging HP means damaging your opponents ability/will to continue the fight. Either by killing him, knocking him out, or just giving the ol, "stay down punk!" Still not a huge deal. Yeah there were penalties to attacking for subdual damage, but really did it matter much for anythign but the last shot anyway? So that guy managed to shield hismelf just enough to not be incinerated, and instead, while crispy, passes out, or just sees his allies get incinerated and then shouts: "Please I'll do anything you ask don't kill me!" drops his weapons, and curls into the fetal position. There are a million ways to use your imagination, unless of course you've already determined that you will not under any circumstances imagine a situation to be. [/QUOTE]
