Even a 1 can mean instant death for someone with a 10 Con. And it gives the occassional excuse for a 'dead' villain to reappear with a shiny new prosthetic. I let death by hit point loss stand as is though, there needs to be a risk when the guns begin to pound.Being able to snag rules from multiple compatible sources is one of the things I like best about D20!The Auld Grump</blockquote>
