[QUOTE="Obryn, post: 4432425, member: 11821"] Then perhaps consider Earthdawn's system. This is based on foggy memory - I haven't played any ED since 3.0 came out. Your characters all have their hit points - I think called Health Points. You also have a Wound Threshold. Whenever you take damage, it reduces your HPs. If you take damage equal to or exceeding your wound threshold in a single hit, you suffer a Wound. When you suffer a Wound, you have a chance of Knockdown and need to make some kind of save, IIRC. Wounds also stick around and adversely affect your healing, possibly even making you take damage instead of recovering it. You can't get rid of a Wound until you (1) heal up to full, and (2) spend some serious time doing so. Of course, healing in Earthdawn basically uses a Healing Surge-style mechanic - except that it's written as a magical effect, much like every other character ability. (Yes, including Warriors and the like - they draw upon the magic of the world to power their fighting.) Still, it may work for you. -O [/QUOTE]
