[QUOTE="greg kaye, post: 9057695, member: 7030543"] Wow, that's patronizing. Normally contributors might at most say something like I think you are wrong on this because of that. Anyway: [ATTACH type="full" alt="1688142976454.png"]289186[/ATTACH] So, yes, a fighter with a 10 constitution could, among other things, become 60% luckier between levels 1 and 2, per RAW. Hits hit, with the typical result of a damage roll. [ATTACH type="full" alt="1688143661193.png"]289189[/ATTACH] "On a hit, you roll damage". Presuming a minimum strength of 10 in melee there would be positive damage, and those hits would be more likely to bring a 1st level fighter to a bloodied condition than a fighter of second level and beyond. Me too, but combat training and tournaments up to the point where opponents yield might not necessarily need to constitute a fight for their life. Certainly, onlookers could relax back and observe while eating their popcorn. My analogies were to things like boxing, and to damage taken from the full range of "types": acid, bludgeoning, cold, fire, force, lightning, necrotic, piercing, poison, psychic, radiant, slashing, and thunder. True, but I thought types were still worth mentioning on the view that a damage type like acid might deliver its damage more consistently. Nonetheless, yes, it's the amount of damage that matters, and 17 hit points of acid, bludgeoning,... lighting, or other damage would kill a first-level fighter even while a higher-level combatant could survive.
