[QUOTE="Jeph, post: 418304, member: 6738"] I probably won't include many of the Monk PrCs . . . I'm also trying to turn the monk's "ki" abilities into a form of Psionics. If I do include any, I'll most likely change the prereqs and give them psionic progressions. As you might have noticed, this campaign has more than a bit of influence from the mini-setting on page 205 of Oriental Adventures: Yuan-ti infested jungles! OK, now for edditing the powers to mesh well with VP/WP. All powers that heal HP damage: They can either heal the listed amount of damage to VP, or a smaller amount of damage to WP. If it heals d4 dice of VP damage, it heals 1 damage per die WP damage. If it heals d6-8 dice of VP damage, it heals d4 dice of WP damage. If it heals d10+ of VP damage, it heals d6 dice of WP damage. The Biofeedback power chain is a little awkward, but let's just say that instead of HP damage being taken as Subdual, WP damage can be taken as VP. Makes it a little less overall useful, but in the end a complete lifesaver. The Concussion powers say that you can choose to deal either normal or subdual damage. Let's say that you just deal the full damage to VP, and any leftover goes to WP. Now a list of monsters that I'll be using. I'll note anything from a non-standard source.
