Scigars idea on E&E damage

Sciencegars just-throwing-this-out-there possible alternate damage system

Turn toughness into an Armor stat. Track Constitution seperately.

Damage Roll Vs Armor/Effect

Mooks:
Fails: No Effect
Succeeds: Mook removed

Keep original table for minor characters like friendly NPCs?

Table for PCs and Major characters
Fails No Effect
Succeeds: Injured
Succeeds by 5 or more: Shaken + Injured
Succeeds by 10 or more: Crippled + Stunned
Succeeds by 15 or more: Disabled
Succeeds by 20 or more: Dying

Possible Boss table if needed?


Injured: Injured conditions mean that the mecha is damaged, suffering scratches and dents.  Each injured condition reduces a mechs Con by 1. At Con 0 a mech is disable, at -1 it is dying

Disabled: When a mecha is Disabled, it shuts down. A pilot must make a piloting test at a +10 bonus each round to get it to perform simple actions and a piloting test at a -10 bonus to perform strenuous actions. A failed check does not knock the mecha into the Dying condition, but instead makes it Fatigued or Exhausted. If the mecha does suffer more damage, it becomes Dying.

Dying: When a mecha gains this condition, it breaks down. It cannot be reactivated until it has been repaired. The mecha is “stable” and does not need to make any check to avoid total destruction, but if it suffers any damage while in this condition, it is permanently destroyed.

Crippled: When a mech becomes crippled, it takes 2 Injured conditions and a -1 to Armor.

Stunned: The Mecha takes a –2 modifier to Reflex Saves, and cannot take actions other than reactions for one turn.

Fatigued:  'Fatigued' mecha cannot move all out or charge and suffer a –2 penalty to effective Strength and Dexterity and a –1 penalty on attack and defense. Failing a maneuvering check while fatigued makes the mecha Exhausted.

Exhausted: 'Exhausted' mecha move at half normal speed and suffer a –6 penalty to effective Strength and Dexterity and a –3 penalty on attack and defense Failing a maneuvering check while Exhausted imposes the Disabled condition. If the mecha was already Disabled when becoming Exhausted, it instead becomes Dying.
