Default Re: [RPM] Post your rituals here

This is the last post I'm going to make on this in this thread because while it's peripherally germane, the RAW doesn't make it explicit what is what. I think that within the rules as presented something with 0 HP ought to either not be possible or be called out specifically for what happens. I suppose something with 0 HP would mean even one point of damage destroys it - something like a bug. But the rules don't really seem to support it. Also, it's a *game* - HP is a gameable abstract, having something with 0 HP would make things weird. Finally, in this case the rounding issue should be up since HP has a point cost and you're modifying it. This isn't something going on in combat and/or is not a feat/contest - you're effectively modifying the template of the target.

And that's all I have to say on the matter.
