 ### Damage System Alternatives ### Damage System Alternatives
  
-Explore alternatives to traditional HP, such as:+Explore alternatives such as:
  
-- **Threshold categories** (Stress / Serious / Critical) like in *Daggerheart* and *Tales From Elsewhere* +#### Resistance and Vulnerability Shifting Wound Tier 
-- Resistance or vulnerability shifting damage *up or down a tier* +An alternative to halving or doubling the raw damage before comparing to thresholds would be simply reduce or increase the Wound Tier by one. This would be simpler and faster than even dividing or multiplying by 2, but leaves us with two questions: 
-- Healing spells that target specific severity levels +* Is it OK if Resistance shifts a Minor Wound down to No Damage? 
- +* What would happen to a Critical Wound with Vulnerability?
-Consider how these systems integrate with: +
- +
-- Different types of characters (e.g., fragile mages vs. tough warriors) +
-- Resting, recovery, and healing mechanics +
-- Tracking conditions—perhaps via standardized condition cards +
- +
-### Modular Rest Mechanics +
- +
-Research different rest structures: +
- +
-- Short vs. long rest pacing +
-- Recovery tied to stress thresholds or condition cards +
-- How to avoid “rest spam” while enabling meaningful recovery +
-- Optional narrative rest triggers (e.g. milestone moments, sanctuary zones)+
