But as Kromm pointed out its beyond the scope of this forum, so thats all I will post here.
No one's gonna mention "Mad as Bones" from Pyramid: #3/103: Setbacks? That's my favorite rendition of mental HP/FP (called SP), and I know from experience that it hardly takes any work to add to it the Dungeon Fantasy RPG because it's short and self-contained.

You could treat charm-type or fear-type effects like the Side Effect (target makes a Will roll at -1 per 2 SP damage) or Symptom (effect happens after target has taken 2/3, 1/2, or 1/3 of their total SP from the attack) enhancement from GURPS. I've done the same there as well. I'm not a big fan of "save or suck" stuff, especially in RPG video games.
