Astral Admin - Mwahahaha!
I actually used my own version of vp/wp before starwars d20 came out (although my players and I have switched terminology since then for ease of reference). I think my original rules are on my website, and I'd been using a version of it since 1e days - specifically to reduce the reliance on clerical healing, as it happens (apropos Frostmarrows original question).
My aim in the short post above was to propose a half-way house - something that merged quick healing from superficial wounds and slow healing from potentially mortal ones, while not requiring any other changes to the system. I actually think it works better than the wp/vp system I'm using at the moment (because I missed the "life ebbing away as the battle rages on" which happened so much in our early games
)
Actually, the one thing that we did take wholly from the SWd20 rules was the saving throw against death when you reach -10hp (aka run out of wounds). Make that and instead of dead you are still dying, and must check again each minute for stabilisation or death. Without that I'd have had an extra 10-15 party deaths at least over the last year.
Cheers
