I'm personally having great fun with this table. You'd have to ask my players if they like it, but on the whole, I think they do.
There's a sense of drama and tension at the table when a PC has to roll the 2d6... Of course, the alternative to the table is just PC death, so I think having a shot at something else by using the table is preferable, but that might just be me...
In this system, HPs have become something more like a PCs "luck" and when it runs out, a grisly death (possibly) awaits...

What is the "chaos" column for, exactly?
@Joseph -- my "bad guys" are usually chaotic in nature (demons, undead, etc.) and so their magic is usually dark, tainted, nasty stuff. When a dark sorcerer blasts a PC with a magic missile, it's not the nice, clean "force energy" that a PC wizard blasts, but instead it's "chaos". Kind of a nod to Warhammer Fantasy. :)
I've been using the chart in my game and it's been a lot of fun. The chance of actual instant death is somewhat diminished maiming and deformation is a great addition to the game. I'll be using the new chart as well.
