I like the action and vitality point rules for the following reasons: 1) Gives players more options 2) Helps make up for lack of key archetypes (with these rules you can do some healing and/or potentially hit like a fighter)

A different system with different options. I am getting a better handle on Vitality & Action points. A last ditch attempt to save yourself , a boost to health to continue campaigning and turning lethal damage to subdual damage all possible with this system. This replaces the short rest option from 5e . More options but not the comfort of 2 short rests per long rest, It will take awhile for us to meta game this system but we'll get there ! This game is meant to be more difficult to survive than a 5e campaign. Resource management including the Points system is going to be very important if your PC is going to survive/thrive. I don't doubt that at some point I will need a replacement character. I think I will roll randomly to see what class my back-up PC is just to keep in the chaotic nature of this campaign. Cheers
