First, let me repost the summary of the Hit Point rules I gleaned from Steve or had him give a nod to.Errata Page 131 Optional Hit Points side barActually it's Protection (and other powers that provide Protection, like Armor) that should provide Damage Reduction. Amazing Save (Damage) should provide additional hit points (not DR) like Super-Constitution does. Hit Point Recap:Hit points:1d6 per character level, Minions 1d3 per levelStun=subdualLethal=hit point damageDisabled at 0, dying at –1, dead at –10Recovery: (for 5th level characters)5 subdual per minute5 hit points per dayMedical attention doubles ratesPowers:RegenerationRegeneration adds it ranks to the recovery rates and hit points get healed in minutesLevel 5 Regen example5+5 sudual per minute5+5 hit points per minuteSuper Strength adds 1d6 per damage per rank. Absorption: (My house rule, but Steve said it looked good)You have a DR rating of Power Rank X 2. You can absorb up to a total of 40 hit points per power rank. Stored hit points bleed off at a rate of 4 hit points per round. With every 4 hit points, you can power a rank for another effect.(This was figured on the concept that every power rank deals 1d6 damage, so an average of 3.5 rounded up to 4 to be convenient and err on the conservative side.)Healing Power:Healing adds its ranks in hit pointsLevel 5 Healing Example+5 hit points back Protection, Armor, Force Field and other similar powers<img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f641.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":(" title="Frown    :("  data-smilie="3"data-shortname=":(" />errata)The power converts to DR of Level X 2.Penetrating Attack: (My house rule, but Steve said it looked good)Each level of the feat reduces a targets DR by 4.Evasion: (My house rule, but Steve hasn't seen it yet.)When a Fortitude Save is requested to avoid damage in a physical situation, a Reflex check can be made to reduce the damage by half.Super Constitution and Damage Save: (errata)These powers adds extra hit points of the power’s level multiplied by the Hero’s total levelsExample of a Level 5 hero with a Super Constitution 22 X 5 = 10 hit points.Damaging Objects: Look up stats of objects in your perferred d20  bookHero Points:A Hero Point can erase subdual points equal to his power level, i.e. 5th Level hero erases 5 subdual damage points. A Hero Point can let a PC ignore the status of being Disabled for 1 round with out his condition worsen to dying.And now to your questions:Q1) Force Field is like Protection so now adds DR. After the errata, the Damage Save is just more hit points.2.) yep3.) Ah! A new rule to make!Going off my Absorption use, one could take the total hit point damge damage and divide by 2 to get your DC modifier. Then take your subdual damage and divide by 4. (or you could just divide both totals by four and assign a +2 and a +1 respectively.) Either way, find a divisor that makes you happy for your game.4.) See my house rule above.And have some patience. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> Some times it takes a couple of days to find the answer you want.</blockquote>
