Getting shot in the head is pretty deadly no matter what your profession is, the strength of soldiers lies not in damage absorption but damage avoidance. With the armour absorption rules and the parry rules a fighter would block every melee attack from an equal level wizard and tear through them in a round or two with the injury chart. Good idea, PC races are the exception to the type-rule anyway.However aboutHalf-orcs, Dwarves 10Humans, half-elves 8Gnomes, elves 6Halflings 4Thus the formula is 8 for a medium humanoid and base 4 for small humanoids with +/-2 if they have a racial CON modifier. Okay. In short, any attack that you have would normally get you're DEX bonus against you can dodge. This may seem strange for missile attacks at first, obviously most people can dodge arrows in mid-flight, but what they can do is move around when the archer is aiming.  No. Parry and Attacks both use BAB but are tracked differently. You're right, spells need to be readjusted for this system. Preferably I'd like to come up with a formula to translate spell damage from the old to the new system. The big question is defense versus magic that's already hit you, ie. what effect should armour or magical defense have. As for heal its HP healing would also be translated, but with injury being so prevalent maybe it will take on that aspect more (ie. healing broken bones, reattaching limbs, etc.) I have no problem with monsters being extra deadly. After all their size modifiers and lack of armour could be the balancing point. After no one would attempt to take on a bear in melee combat, but ranged attacks would deal with them without too much difficulty. Although for some creatures their abilities may have to be tweaked to not unbalance this system. Any suggestions as to what those could be?</blockquote>
