[QUOTE="Calico_Jack73, post: 1505766, member: 14403"] Have you even played Traveller T20? The combat damage system was revised to make it deadly for all characters no matter what level they are and I'm not talking about a VP/WP system. Instead it uses the Lifeblood system and pretty much every lethal shot that hits you WILL take at least one point of Lifeblood and numerous hit points unless you have REALLY good armor. Armor reduces the damage dice pool by one dice per armor point up to the last dice and then reduces the damage rolled on the last dice by the ammount left over. Let's say you got shot with a weapon that does 3d10 damage and you are wearing armor that gives you 4 AC. The lowest 2 dice rolled are ignored leaving you with 2 armor points left and the last dice rolled was an 8. You just took 6 points of Lifeblood damage which is equal to your CON. Unless you have an incredible superhuman CON it won't take all that many hits to take you down. If you lose your HP first, you are unconscious. If you lose your Lifeblood you are dead. Traveller is the d20 game that I've found to be the most unlike D&D. Character creation, and combat are almost completely new. It might as well be a whole new game. [/QUOTE]
