Aye, I'm inclined to agree that D&D wouldn't work too well, mainly because of the emphasis on magic. Magic to heal. Magic to fight. But mostly the healing. Not familiar with Warhammer's mechanics, so I can't comment on it's suitability or lack there-of.

Wonder how well the L5R system could be adapted. Magic in it is much more subtle and while hp's can increase as you level, it is due to improving stats, which don't exactly skyrocket up. Combat is lethal and the way they balance skill vs natural talent is nice. Overall one of my favorite gaming systems, but adapting it to something else properly would probably be more work than it is worth, as so much of it's underlying logic and skills are culture based.
