One of the things I like about the HS mechanic though is it does put a pretty tight cap on things. You can exceed that somewhat in various ways, but you would lose that with your idea. It does give you a bigger distinction between magic healing and 'grit' like SW and non-magical healings. I don't have an issue with making them different, as long as things all work.I don't think it is any more or less videogamey than any other HP/HS system. None of them are super realistic, nor ever will be. Some decent mechanism for getting 'wounds' is not bad though. Magic healing could then remove wounds, and not do any direct HP restoration at all (though that would be the indirect effect). Non-magical healing could then just work pretty much like it does now, restoring 25% of your hit points per application. I think that would still give you the 'action heroes' thing, and allow for it to verge into gritty fairly easily (especially if you could add in say a critical hit system that can give wounds, etc for those who want bloody).</blockquote>
