Not sure if this is the right place to ask this…
Is there a different HP system that removes HP and uses a Harm-like system (which I’m not incredibly familiar with), such that the only roll you make is Hack & Slash?
Here’s what I’m thinking.
There’s a 5 point HP track
On box cars, player causes 3 points of damage
On a 10-11, player causes 2 points of damage
On a 7-9, player causes & receives 1 points of damage
On a 3-6, player receives 1 point of damage
On cats eyes, player receives 2 points of damage
Yes, this doesn’t take armor or class into account.
I just don’t like HP.
Yochai Gal has been working on something that works similar to this, based on how Vagabonds of Dyfed does it.
Cameron Burns how does VoD do it? Can you share a link?
Yochai Gal, I’d love to see what you’re working on.
Alejandro Duarte this is version alpha… the newer version will likely be very different!
It does use HP.

Thanks!
If anyone is willing to try my method, please let me know how it works for you.
I did the cats eyes and boxcar thing because, despite being happy to leave trad games behind, I miss crits and miniatures.
If I remember well, Farflung uses a system which divides damage into weak, strong, grand and some fourth level of damage. Depending on your success and your attack power, you do one of these types of damages which either kills your enemy outright or is insufficient to affect it. Even though it’s not dungeon World it is a pbta system. Hope this helps
