[QUOTE="MarauderX, post: 692059, member: 9990"] Why mess with the system that much? No one likes to have low hit points, not even bad guys, but it happens to occur every once in a while. The DM may need to compensate just a little if the players don't watch out for themselves, for example a fighter reaches 3rd level, rolls 1 for HP and then still continues to use a two-handed sword instead of taking up a shield. The player has the choice in taking those chances, but of course will risk getting knocked out more often. I like the choice method: The player rolls and DM rolls the same in secret and if the player doesn't like what he got he can ask for the DMs roll. If the player rolled a 2 and decided to go with what the DM rolled, the chances are that he rolled better, but occasionally he may roll a 1. That way the player can't really blame bad luck unless both rolled a 1, in which case it was just meant to be... [/QUOTE]
