[QUOTE="Geron Raveneye, post: 3742774, member: 2268"] Simple. No, it doesn't. Not in my mind. :) Wanna know why? Because (provided I'm the DM), I make the rules. The books are a nice reminder of what the baseline is, but if I don't like it, I blow it. If I don't like the whole baseline of a game, I blow the game and look for a different one. The only reasons why I don't make up my own are that I don't have the time, and am a lazy bugger. :lol: Seriously, why should it cramp my style more to go "every 1st level PC rolls hit points with 1dx and adds Con" instead of "Guys, simply take hit points equal to your Con on 1st level"? Starting at 3rd might not be to everybody's taste either, just so you don't get killed by one lucky stroke. :) [/QUOTE]
