Comparing a couple ways to do hit points.

Remember every single HP characters have above average hurts the evocation school.

Only in the case of evocation spells applied against PCs, unless you're using inflated HP rolls for NPCs as well. That's not necessarily a big problem.

If you are looking for a good hp system, that does not leave the PCs to the fate of lucky dice rolls, but also does not give them too high average hit points, I can only recommend this one...

Roll one die as normal.

If you rolled equal to or above HD/2 then you keep your result.
If you rolled below HD/2 you get HD/2 instead.

IMHO by far and wide the best method available.

Seconded. That's the one I use and it's worked out very well.

Best solution IMHO is to allow PCs to take Low average at even levels and high average at odd levels. Same thing NPCs and monsters get in the MM.
