	Hit Points (HP) or Hit Dice (HD) to BODY
=======================================================================

  HERO BODY is dervived directly from GAMMA WORLD CON or HD as follows: 

  In 1st edition GAMMA WORLD, Hit Dice (HD) were always d6 and were
equal to Constitution (CON), and Hit Points (HP) were equal to CON or 
HD x d6; in other words, the amount of CON a character had was the 
number of six-sided (d6) Hit Dice (HD) that they had. The maximum GW 
CON was 18 and in HERO the NCM CON is 20, therefore:

	CON +2 = BODY 	or 	HD +2 = BODY	or HP/6 +2 = BODY

  However, as 2nd edition GAMMA WORLD used dice other than d6 for HD, 
the conversion is somewhat more complex as the other dice must be 
equated to the d6 baseline:

	HD ( d4) x 0.67 +2 = BODY

        HD ( d6) +2 = BODY

        HD ( d8) x 1.33 +2 = HD (d6) +2 = BODY

        HD (d10) x 1.67 +2 = HD (d6) +2 = BODY

	HD (d12) x 2 +2 = HD (d6) +2 = BODY

  Also, in most cases, in 1st edition GW, Robots had 5 HP per HD; 
so the following formula could also be used:

	HP/5 +2 = HD +2 = BODY

  For those who don't like formulae, here's a convenient table:

======
DAMAGE 
======

  Damage is a simple conversion since GAMMA WORLD HD are based on 
CON x d6, so every additional point of GW CON gives a point of HERO 
BODY, and thus each point of HERO BODY damage should be roughly the 
equivalent of one dice of GW damage, therefore each d6 of GAMMA WORLD 
Damage equals 1 DC of HERO Damage:

	d6 (3 points) of GAMMA WORLD Damage 
	= d6 of HERO *Normal* Damage 
	= 1 pip of *Killing* Damage

	3d6 (9 points) of GAMMA WORLD Damage 
	= 3d6 of HERO *Normal* Damage 
	= or d6 of HERO *Killing Damage
