For instance, when you loose all your Psychic/Moral pool, you're [stunned] for a round - if you couple this with monster design, you can get some pretty cool results. A sort of "Vulnerable [?]" with a bit more involved than simply tagging the creature. (Create a red dragon with a "cold pool" that weakens his breath weapon attack or something.)This isn't really what you were going for, but it popped when I read what you proposed.One thing you could do that works with (very little rule change requirements) would be to co-opt the THP / HP divide : you could turn 3/4 of regular hp into THP. You could also have all non-ritual healing affect only THP (for that gritty meat-point feel).This does conflict with some THP "shield bubble" situations... On the other hand, while the THP non-stacking rule was very important in 3e, (IME) the way it works out in 4e makes it so stacking THP isn't really a thing that can get out of hand unless your group really builds for it...</blockquote>
