One way to correct it:level 0: start with a size based hit die + con (or str) modifier. Standard d8. Take the average rounded up: 5.Level 1 and above: get the average of your class hp rounded up. No con modifier. Ever.So you usually start with 10 to 12 hp. A gnome (d6) wizard (d6) with 8 con might start with just 7 hp. Still enough to survive level 1.Con bonus on hit dice to recover hp. The gnome wizard has very bad regeneration. But that is ok. The catch: weapons deal no bonus damage from stat modifiers. But you might be able to wield higher dice weapons with better str or dex. Or they might allow you to reroll dice results of your modifier or less (or both) No 2d6 weapons. Str 11 allows d6 weaponsStr 12 reroll 1'sStr 13 allows d8 weaponsStr 14 reroll 2'sStr 15 allows d10 weaponsStr 16 reroll 3'sStr 17 allows d12 weaponsStr 18 reroll 4'sThat way damage dealt is significantly reduced. Especially with multiattack.</blockquote>
