[QUOTE="Kor, post: 3076581, member: 26281"] I think I will be planning on designing a new Combat Round System -- I had actually planned on designing one for D&D anyways, so this will be a good challenge for me to make the same system workable for both D&D and Modern. I already have some pretty good ideas for how to make it work so once I have something put together I'll post it. (My goal is to better allow for projectile weapons such as mondern day guns to be a bit more "realistic" in the combat round sense, yet not completely change the system to the degree that it would require redesigning all support rules such as feats and combat modifiers.) Currently I do use a Vitality and Wounds system, however I found that criticals were pretty much guaranteed deaths... so what I did was make the first 1x of any critical apply against wounds and the rest I applied against vitality. Also since in firefights I was finding that criticals were fairly common I then decided that only "special NPC's" were capable of delivering criticals on the PC's. (These being the primary villians / bosses / leaders in the encounters). Enemys (aside from special NPC's) had only hit points, where-as the specials had vitality and wound points. I also found that the massive damage Threshold was too low, so I increased it to CON +10... this has worked quite decently. [/QUOTE]
