Message: <blockquote data-quote="IanArgent" data-source="post: 3819396" data-attributes="member: 21673">I made a decision each round. (The decisions was to stay in melee with the necromancer).In WHFRP Wounds are a much more "granular" resource than HP are in D&D - you typically start with 1 or 2, and top out around 6 or 7 (at the time - I haven't read the last 2 incarnations of the WHFRP system).Anyway, this is kind of an aside to the whole discussion - an anecdote intended to illustrate that even without a "mechanically significant" threat (we were expected by the GM to go through the encounter like a scythe against wheat) things can go pear-shaped. I was a lot less upset that my character had been done in by the dice because it happened over several levels.In fact, there's only one character death I was at all upset about in my long and varied gaming career - AD&D2ed Darksun; character died to a Death or 20 HP poison (Type E?), in a situation that I had no idea the character had been poisoned by the hit.___________________________________________But I think if you don't understand the difference between the two situations, we're not having the same discussion.</blockquote>
