D&D players get used to the "you have to beat me down before you can kill me" mindset, and that doesn't reflect the tone that we go for in our game. Under the VP/WP system, a critical hit with a rifle (3d8 to 3d12 depending on the model) goes straight to WP, which can kill any character, regardless of level. Also, one of the house rules that ledded left out for us is that falling damage goes directly to WP after the first 6d6. So a drop off of a 6 story building will just do VP damage, but a drop off of a 10 story building will do 6d6 VP and 4d6 WP damage. Also, ordinaries do not get VP at all, regardless of level. So you can send in loads of "stormtrooper" mooks against the heroes, and they can be very good at attacking and skills (high level mooks) but they still go down with just one hit. Also, as mentioned before in the Star Wars setting, as well as in Medallions, VP act as your fuel for Force powers or magic. As for conversions of monsters, it is very easy. You just take their normal HP, and they get that amount of VP. Then you take their Con score and multiply it by a factor based on their size (I don't have it in front of me, but i think it is like Huge = ConX2) and you get their WP.</blockquote>
