But, well here goes.This is one idea after reading this stuff I thought of/tempted to toy with. It sorta mixes old and new.A fighter gets attacked from the side, his hit-ratio math is (1-20): -1 for being caught off-guard, but +2 for wearing full-plate for say a total of 6 (5 is a base-number). The DM rolls gets a 8. He manages to slip past the armour to attack.Now that he has managed to attack, how much will this affect him? The dagger gives a +10% to serious harm. The DM rolls a 40% + 10% equals: 50%. So at 50% he has trouble moving (less movement squares/amount of actions he can take). If the DM had scored a 80-90& he would have done serious enough harm to have the Fighter roll to see if falls unconscious. 90%-100% would mean death.Certain effects on the weapon could be used like this as well, say the dagger was serrated it then opens the ability to on-top of the ordinary effect a additional effect. Say it gives a 40% of having a bleed wound (over-time this will cause a person to fall unconscious (however close it is to the 80%-90% needed to fall unconscious is that many rounds it takes to reach it). This however, will also be effected by a fighters rolls, with his own bonuses, such as say a silk-shirt, etc.This system could mean that, the means of attack as well as the method of delivery can be effected and delivered in a more realistic fashion. So for another example, the Fighter is inside a trench, a cannon goes off. The trench gives him a +4, and the loud sound another +1, for a total of: 10. The cannon however because of concussive force and shrapnel has a +5. It beats his hit-ratio.Being a cannon this has a +40% chance of doing serious harm. The DM rolls a 0%. Given the 40% the fighter is knocked off his feet and loses a turn. However he must also deal with the cannons' side-effects, which has high 30% for being stunned. He manages to not get stunned because of a feat that gave him a sturdy frame.This percentile system could be used for falling to. The farther you fall, a larger damage-bracket is opened. With the maximum bracket being death.</blockquote>
