You mean compared to rolling twice and taking the highest roll?Then let me tell you, that what I proposed always gives a lower average result than that method. It even is lower than the quite popular re-roll once (but you have to take the second roll if you decide to use the re-roll).@reanjr: I can tell you why I do not like it... because rolling a 1 or 2 on a d10 three times in a row is no fun. Yeah, you can take the average, but if you do not and roll a 1 once, what do you do then? Take the average from then on and suck it up, or hope for a high roll to even it out? Exactly! And then you roll another 1. And then a 2. And then you are left with a fighter that has to hide behind the wizard. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /> And that is no fun. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> What I have written above completely eliminates this chance without giving a high increase to the average (it's between +0.25 and +1.25 hps/lvl depending on HD size (yes, it is an increase, even worth as much as a feat for a barbarian or fighter, but it's not such a big difference in the end other than removing all those characters from the pool that are simply no fun to play since they fall over dead as soon as someone touches them - you don't need super high hp, but you need at least roughly average hps, and rolling is more fun than just taking the average, too)). That's why I like it best that way. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" />ByeThanee</blockquote>
