On the mojo interpretation of hp, this is exactly what hp are.In AD&D I would say that this isn't an issue, so much as a deliberate design decision (see Gygax on the rationale for saving throws, in particular - the whole point is that you get a save vs dragon breath even if you're chained helpless to a rock face).The easiest way to change the game in 3E would be to multiply all damage taken outside of combat (eg falling, ambushes, dragon breath while chained helpless to a rock face) by the PC's level. (This is a tiny bit wonky because of the max hp at 1st level, but we'll probably cope. It will work fine for classic D&D up until the maximum HD are reached. It won't work for 4e, because damage in 4e is balanced against a much bigger pool of 1st level hp.)</blockquote>
