If a goblin hits for 1d4, then it's not generally worth spending a Hit Die to block that, where you might be more willing to spend a d10 to block an orc or ogre. Personally, if I was playing this game, I would use the rule for average values - nothing worse than spending a d10 to stop 5 damage and only getting a 1, except possibly spending a d10 to stop 5 damage and rolling a 10. Massive inefficiency ensues.Why not just roll your Hit Dice together after each short rest, and make them act like temporary Hit Points? If you're level 8, then you might have 20 Hit Points and 8d10 Hit Dice, so just say that you have 20 Hit Points and 44 temporary Hit Points?Also, you probably don't want to increase Hit Points by (1 + Con modifier) at each level. Aside from killing some people outright when they reach level 6, it places way too much dependence on the Con score.</blockquote>
