[QUOTE="Mustrum_Ridcully, post: 4101787, member: 710"] "Nasty things happening to the character protection points" might be a bit too long, right? Maybe 5E will be able to go away from the hit point term. Or a 4E supplement (Unearthed Arcana for 4E?) will introduce an alternate system. Maybe games on a general basis have reached a point where ablative hit points will eventually be removed by generic "cool/drama/action/dude factor/possibility" points. The combat system says: "If you hit, roll damage to determine the number of wounds you take. For every wound, you take a -1 injury penalty to all rolls. In reaction to a succesful attack, you can spend your "nastiness protection points"/"cool points" to reduce the wounds recieved by one for each point spent. After a short rest, you regain [i]n[/i] nastiness protection points. After an extended rest, you regain all protection points. On the other hand, why go through the trouble of a detailed injury system if you'll always want to spend points to fully negate the injuries? [/QUOTE]
