One more thing I've been meaning to ask : were we given any rations, survival supplies and/or pack animals for the expedition ? I haven't bought any for Vonval because I didn't know how the game was gonna start.
Sure rations are good. We aren't going to spend much time sitting around the campfire eating, and as I will just assume that you have it. (especially as we have no heavy survival users to hunt food) Plus who needs rations when you have dwarf bread.
That's fine, perhaps we'll adjust it to you wake up with 1 or 3 hit points. Though if someone just smashed you under, I don't think 1 hp is where you want to be.
I'm fine with the death/dying rules as described. Anything else new will have to be described as well- I'm not really following the 4e development stuff. Karienna should also be all set for food- she has Everlasting Rations and an Everful Mug in her gear.
