The "Mystical Sixth" edition of Tunnels & Trolls drops the saving roll to hit in favor of adding or subtracting dice. I am not acquainted with the details of that variant, but T&T has had armor "soaking up damage" (one way or another) since 1975.Even without armor, the original T&T melee rules are based on only one side -- the loser of a round -- taking as damage the difference in "hit point totals". If my dice and "adds" sum to 14 and the monster's to 10, then the monster takes 4 hits.That's pretty neat, but it's not a "one size fits all" answer. Sometimes there's a situation in which getting hit is unlikely but is going to hurt just as much if it happens -- or vice-versa.</blockquote>
