Well, Symptoms exists in GURPS but not in the Dungeon Fantasy Roleplaying Game. Even in GURPS, though, nothing prevents monsters from working however they work . . . they are not (and should not) be built on character points, so you can just say "every N HP lost causes effect X," where X can be a penalty to something, energy points toward a curse (as in my example), or whatever you like. For hack 'n' slash monsters, the question isn't whether you can build it using full-on, complicated GURPS, but only whether it's fun.
