Also some of the thinking comes with my experience with True20 which uses a wound track. However, 4e goes too far for me, and the optional (S&W)rule of 1d4 for binding wounds once a day doesn't go far enough- especially considering the supposedly abstract nature of hit points.<br /><br />Anyway, the random aspect of the recovery (1d6 instead of a set number), the wound table and the critical hit option- not to mention what will work out in the mid and long term to be much lower hit point totals make for something somewhat, if not fundamentally different from what you have with both 4e and 0e.Aoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00145284080419502886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2248254789731612355.post-35712573136385674902010-03-27T12:20:36.888-07:002010-03-27T12:20:36.888-07:00Wait, did I just see something that looked like 4E...Wait, did I just see something that looked like 4E Healing Surges sneaking by shamefacedly?<br /><br />Ah, who cares!
