[QUOTE="Malin Genie, post: 210220, member: 1058"] GuardianLurker I like your 'top-down' system explanation. It works most easily for a drawn-out fight between two swordsmen, but with some DM Creativity (TM) I can see it working well even for things like dragon breath The force of the flame blows you clear. You tumble, smoking and bruised, and regain your feet, a little winded but ready to take the fight back to the dragon. or The force of the flame slams you backward. Your clothes smoking, your head reels for a few moments as you wince from the shock and heat. Your muscles twitch a little in protest, and you don't know if you would be able to get out of the way of the next one. or the flames catch you and you scream, involuntarily drawing some of the inferno into your lungs. Although you fall flat and the rest of the flame washes over you, you are badly burnt and barely able to draw breath. You lapse into unconsciousness and your organs begin to coagulate. Having said that I have no idea how, even with DM Creativity (TM) to explain a [i]Cure Light Wounds[/i] healing the multi-organ trauma caused by a sword-blow at low hit points while being only mildly refreshing to someoneat mid hit-points (although the anomaly isn't restricted to [i]Cure[/i] spells, it goes for any healing.)
