You reference "instead of" a number multiple times, implying that the number listed is the 5E RAW, but none of them are. In all cases, classes get mean HP, round up. Wizards get 4, not 3. Fighters get 6, not 5. Barbarians get 7, not 6. Am I misinterpreting something?Regardless, if I just look at your suggestions, I still don't think I like it. The bigger concern, for me, would be that what you propose would widen the gap between just Wizard and Sorcerer and all other classes. Because those are the d6 classes, their hit points actually go down under your system. The d8 classes break even, and d10/d12 classes get a bump (+1 and +2, respectively). I haven't noticed any problems with survival for combat classes, so I don't see any "solution", there. If anything, the tanks will hit a point just north of the balance point. Meanwhile, I have genuine concerns about whether the arcanists would cross a southern border on survival -- which was an actual issue in previous editions that needed fixed.So, this really looks like a solution in search of a problem. I think it would actually be somewhat disruptive, if it had any impact at all. IMO, 5E hit the sweet spot on PC hit points. Now, if you want to talk AC, I might be open to that.</blockquote>
