[DF] Will Points... has anyone used them with DF?

I am thinking about adding Will Points to be the mental analog to Hit Points. It would fit the DF genre well because in DF there is loads of combat and the character need to recoup after major battles in order to accomplish the goal of the defeating the boos bad guy. Now there could also be mental damage from hostile spells, viewing Things Man Was Not Meant to Know, psionic blasts, etc. This could make for a more interesting game IMO. Some spells, exposures and psionics could cause Will Point damage and once it reaches certain levels then the actual Will to resist things becomes reduced until the PC rests or magically repairs his/her Will. So has anyone done this? And if so please tell me what you thought about it because I am considering adding this stat. Thanks.
