[QUOTE="francisca, post: 1327264, member: 9734"] Frankly, I think the barbarian should be a template. Even more than that, it should a Level-based class/template, kinda like what Sean Reynolds did in the Savage progressions area on the Wizard's website. And, I think race should be refelcted in hit-die. I think it is perfectly reasonable for a dwarven sorceror to have an equal or greater hit die than halfing fighter, for example. Maybe define the base hit die for a class just as they are now for humans and half elves, whilst elves, halflings, gnomes, get the next die size down, dwarves and half-orcs get the next size up. For example, human and half-elf clerics would get a d8 for HP, Dwarves and Half-Orcs would get a d10, elves, gnomes, halflings would get a d6. Now I'll wait around for someone to tell me, "that's what the ability adjustments are supposed to do, dummy." But you know what? I don't think they are enough, especially at low levels. And heck, small creatures get an AC bonus, why not reflect racial differences in HP as well? (at least to a greater extent than they are now). [/QUOTE]
