@SJohnRoss I could see this being a potentially good, interesting videogame mechanic.
Burning Wheel uses a mutli d6 roll mechanic. Which I usually hate. But we are using a virtual table, so that counts the dice for me, and now Im fine with it.
If this health/damg system was in a computer game, I might not bat an eye. But no, the devs are asking my brain meats to handle it each turn, each session.
For however clever it is, i think it has oversight of interest, patence, & accessability.
