If so, I have created an accessory for 3rd edition you might enjoy called the Diehards Handbook. This handbook questions the concept of the Hit Point system in D&D (amongst many other things) and presents a new style of play that is refreshing and challenging. This book focuses on "role-playing," not "roll-playing!"
Creating this handbook has been a hobby of mine for quite some time now, but after years of gaming with the rules governed in this handbook, I was persuaded to release it to the general public so others might enjoy what myself and a few others have also. This handbook was created in MS Word and "printed" with PrimoPDF into a .pdf file so everyone can see it. It's pretty darn accurate to the Word file but there are some minor graphical issues you probably won't even notice. I never intended to sell this written works so feel free to download and distribute as you wish, however I would like credit for any material presented within if you decide to use it in your own works. Of note, this accessory has been heavily play-tested in its current form. Comments and suggestions are more than welcome, however I doubt I will alter the handbook anytime soon save for some horrendous unforeseen balance issues.
I have also created a complete stand-alone adventure to correspond with the special rules presented in this handbook. Everything in the adventure is my own works. Most of the scanned maps look much better on paper for some reason. Thoughts and comments regarding the adventure are also welcome.
You can view or download the handbook and adventure by visiting my website here or directly download the Diehards Handbook and Adventure.
