That is you'd keep one pool of hit points, but have conditions that are applied when certain amounts of damage or certain damage thresholds are achieved. So taking 25% of your hit points in one attack might 'daze' you, and taking 75% in one hit might 'stun' you (maybe not those literal 4e conditions, and being some sort of 'track' the exact details will be a little different from 4e, but generally similar).Conceptually its nice. You could make imposition of these things be class-feature based too, so if you build a 'big bruiser' type martial striker of some sort, then he can 'knock back' opponents with extra effectiveness, regardless of the specific power being used. This would also allow various classes/builds to have specific 'shticks' where they can get extra bennies from psychic, cold, poison, whatever damage. I think I gotta put a version of this down as an idea to toy around with in my hack. It could work well, though it tends to undermine the centrality of the power concept.</blockquote>
