[QUOTE="Tormyr, post: 6370995, member: 6776887"] That makes sense to me though. PCs fight CR7 minotaurs who have been fighting possibly for years while a level 1 minotaur PC is essentially just starting out in the adventuring world. It is important to remember that HP is not drops of blood that you can lose before you die. It is an abstraction of how much punishment you can take and stamina to continue in a fight. A level 1 minotaur PC can be just as big, burly and healthy as an enemy minotaur, but it is not as experienced in adventuring. It is not as good at turning aside enemy weapons. Enemy's strikes find critical areas more easily, and the PC cannot shrug off as much damage. This is represented by a PC with 20 hp falling to fewer blows than a PC with 100 hp. Both PCs of a similar race have similar amounts of blood, but the more experienced PC with more hp is more adept at minimizing damage taken and shrugging off the effects before falling unconscious.
