A rogue more like 11. A 1st level spell deals 13.5 - 18 damage.  What can we extrapolate PC hit points from that? They should probably start with more average hit points than many of those options,  though it's fine if a good roll or crit drops them.Alternatively, you reduce damage. How far down can you go? 1d12 + 4 damage for a two-handed sword with 18 Str (not hard to get) assumes no damage added by class, magic, feat, etc. Are people willing to allow below that? Cause that's still 10.5, 16 high.</blockquote>
