I am not sure how different you are looking for.  You could use a
system whereby there are actually N number of different versions of
health.  All attacks would attack only one of these "types" of
health.  So you could diversify in this way.  Of course I think
keeping N low is very important... at most 4 or 3 IMO.  Players
would be allowed to grow in one of these types of health based on
their own choices.  Gives you the ability to really diversify your
combat from encounter to encounter depending on how you implement
attack types and growth.

Still, this isn't anything but a variation on the theme, so I don't
know how helpful this was.
