I can always just go to the S&W rules for Vancian magic or simpler combat rules. However, if I want to use a rule, I can't use it if I don't have access to it. Anyway, spell point systems were developed for D&D almost from the beginning, with varying levels of complexity.faoladhhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03691952430041394614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6707455220399106053.post-14022529737282105302012-10-21T20:56:08.331-04:002012-10-21T20:56:08.331-04:00The BP/HP stuff will be included.

It solves a lot of D&D's problems with interpreting hit points without being too much of a pain to deal with.Randallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13879930955049101533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6707455220399106053.post-67311722990740704032012-10-21T20:42:15.960-04:002012-10-21T20:42:15.960-04:00Your "Burn HP" thing is vastly better th...Your "Burn HP" thing is vastly better than Vancian casting in my opinion-- but I never liked D&D's particular take on Vancian casting in the first place. If they don't like it they're not beholden to use it.<br />What about the HP/BP divide? I've been an aficionado of that way of handling damage ever since I first encountered it.Rachel Ghoulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04765944479141792643noreply@blogger.com
