I don't see it as a bag of rats situation, because I think this application of hp is balanced and within the RAI (whereas I don't think the bag of rats tactic was). Of course, if you as a DM want to make a ruling that characters who jump off cliffs die, you're hardly being unreasonable.Personally, one of the reasons I like not using hp is that vp/wp fixes this issue nicely. But that's beside the pointDefinitely not how I would narrate it; I equate luck and player behavior with dice rolls and transient mechanical representations, while I look at permanent mechanics as physical truth. But the books don't say either way, so it's up to the reader to decide.</blockquote>
