[QUOTE="The Crimson Binome, post: 8051389, member: 6775031"] I don't know where you're getting this from, but it's way out of line. Nobody makes any additional check, just because they're low on HP. They make checks for all of the normal things, and sometimes, a failed check will result in damage (regardless of how many HP they have remaining). If you fail to climb, then you fall, and may take damage. If you're running down a hill, and something distracts you at the wrong time, you might wipe out and take damage. If someone shoots into an unstable pile of rocks, it may collapse, dealing damage to everyone in an area. The potential for damage is everywhere. The world is an inherently dangerous place, and the only reason anyone can ever get anything done is that the vast majority of those hazards are [I]not[/I] instantly fatal to the sort of people who would encounter them. A world with minions in it is not a world that makes sense; it's a shallow parody of a world, where the tiniest amount of examination would reveal that civilization should have died out before it began. You must have missed what I said. But in any case, if someone with 1hp behaves as though they were just fine, then they're too dumb to live. Fortunately, my players have more common sense than that.
