So...somewhat less lethal at low levels (esp for non-warrior characters),
but MAJORLY more lethal at high levels. (Since the most you'll ever have is
~24 WP, and that's assuming very high initial Con.)
Interesting. A way to keep low-level characters alive longer, without the
problem of Han Solo boldly fighting 20 stormtroopers.
Wondering how WOTC will handle Call Of Cthulhu...
