Let's say I played the 'Generic Spellcaster' mentioned earlier where I can assign my own saves, if I give the Good save to Fort, I have the same damage soaking ability as a Barbarian...This will get inordinately complicated with monster hit die...The second problem is with damage itself. If I still need to roll damage to determine what I divide by 5 then we're only slowing down the game by using the save. On the fly division kills game speed. On the other hand, if we use either max damage or average damage this possible issue goes away.In a save mechanic for injury, the random end is on the save, put it on both ends and you slow things down to much.What all of this says, is that it looks unfinished. With a little work we can devise a way to account for each issue, but that should be done BEFORE we buy the book...</blockquote>
