Sorry, this was a 2e rule, first.

Yeah- i remember that. Sry

Might work at low levels, but when ya get into the higher levels, it would be pretty difficult to deal a character 1/2 or more of his hp in damage.

Could do like D&D 3x...set the threshold at 50 hp or more damage in one shot. Or like Conan d20, threshold 20 hp.

Hi Scott! So are you actually playing C&C or just checking things out? Either way, good to "see" you over here.

We (my gaming group) are actually playing it (and it looks like I'll probably be helping Casey write some stuff for it as well).
