I’d have to think about it some more to be sure. Is that the case?<BR/><BR/>Another idea I’ve toyed with is having a 0-level hit die. So, the average 0-level human would have, say, 1d6. PCs would then have the 0-level HD in addition to their class HD. So, a 2nd level fighter would have 3d6+2 (i.e. 1d6 + 2d6+2). A 3rd level mage would have 4d6-3.<BR/><BR/>Of course, you might want to make 0-level weaker. 1d3 or something.Roberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16733274876782876659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2170237526012357403.post-13776715579793601472008-12-05T10:06:00.000-05:002008-12-05T10:06:00.000-05:00I go with:Fighting-man: 1d6+1 per level.Cleric and...I go with:<BR/><BR/>Fighting-man: 1d6+1 per level.<BR/>Cleric and Monster: 1d6<BR/>Magic User: 1d6-1.<BR/><BR/>I also make the player re roll all hit dice upon gaining a level. If they don't get a higher value, HPs increase by 1. <BR/><BR/>ZulgyanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2170237526012357403.post-55390763940115684212008-12-04T22:02:00.000-05:002008-12-04T22:02:00.000-05:00Robert, I can definitely see that.

In fact, sometimes I do that now as an easy way to simulate d8's with a fistful of d6's.Deltahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00705402326320853684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2170237526012357403.post-37610336236341439712008-12-04T11:54:00.000-05:002008-12-04T11:54:00.000-05:00I like...Fighting-men: d6+1Clerics: d6Magic-users:...I like...<BR/><BR/>Fighting-men: d6+1<BR/>Clerics: d6<BR/>Magic-users: d6-1<BR/><BR/>(And if MUs roll a one, they get zero.
