[QUOTE="JDJblatherings, post: 4011488, member: 52044"] Once in a LARP tossed a javelin at someone, they dodged and bashed their head into a cabin wall, my attack was a success but my javelin didn't inflict any damage. Somone with 9 hp is a goner where as somone with 100 hp is going to survive, this means tough guys can take the punishment because of grit and determination. It is healing, the gods are stingy with high HP people that shouldn't be getting themselves hurt . It's more healing for the low HP fellows and less for the high HP fellows not the same healing. Cure Light wounds can be a 100% of a 1st level charcters hp but is easily less then 10% for a 7th or 8th level character. Surley these aren't all the same points. Hp are recovered by character level something is going on here besides the same physical damage regardless of HP total. If you are paralyzed or unconscious you are a dead duck if someone wants you dead...coup de grace anyone? [qoute] [B]Constitution affects your hit points, but Wisdom and Dexterity do not.[/B] This implies that being physically durable is important to determining your hit point total, but willpower, perc eption, and quick reflexes are irrelevant. [/quote] Concentration is tied to CON also. CON is a measure of "toughness" not simply health and endurance. [/QUOTE]
