Benefits of HP and IT:DR is that you can go into the negatives. Your negative pool is potentially x5 your positive pool. ADR on the other hand is all positive, but when you run out it's much more serious. For survival purposes HP is overall cheaper (negative pool) while ADR keeps you in the fight longer. As far as "1/2 damage from fire" type things, IT:DR is still much easier on the paperwork but ADR wouldn't be confusing to implement. You'd simply have a bigger buffer against certain types of damages. I suppose a side perk is that ADR heals independently of HP at the rate of HP. hulking mass ST 20/40 (20 as Fixed ST) [100+160] DR (Ablative -80%; Ignores AP, uses Injury multipliers instead 0%) [80] Regeneration (Instant) [10] That would take knockback, slam/fall, and have a default weight calculated as ST 20. For damage, he has a 20 HP, but those don't get touched until you to 80 points of other damage. HP heals at 2/turn, ADR at 8/turn. ADR would be taken after other DR (absorption). Using injury mods (cutting, impaling, piercing, hit location bonuses) seems like a fair trade off for ignoring AP? Last edited by naloth; 01-12-2019 at 02:09 PM. |

Re: IT:DR pricing
I stated out a few PCs that way and it basically turned into the stun points that 3e Supers had as an optional rule. In play, they weren't popular. I guess part of the enjoyment of combat is that HP wounds are serious while stun wounds are more of a "buffer" that's hard to take seriously. Worse when everyone has a buffer you expect to have to plow through it before doing real damage. IT:DR *feels* like real damage even you take more.
Mathematically I suppose ADR works out about like what I proposed, though, so under the hood you could just implement it as a divisor... Thoughts? |

ER has a few benefits over fatigue, and it's not like you're losing the "negative" pool for fatigue since running out has all sorts of additional problems attached. For Supers game, I've done the "all HP over 12 is massless unless you back it with a realistic weight" house rule. Knkbk = Dmg/10 is easy to calculate. |
