[QUOTE="DND_Reborn, post: 8103249, member: 6987520"] Not really following this thread much anymore, but I will throw this out there: Start with HP equal to your CON score (or max HD, your choice depending on your game style) and add [I]all[/I] your ability score modifiers to the total. When you level up, you just get HD. If an ability score modifier increases, your HP increase by the same amount (typically, +1 or 2). This way, every ability score affects your HP total because in the abstract sense, all are represented (or could be with certain point of view). For instance: STR - "might" = shrugging it off DEX - "avoid" = dodging it, turning with the blow, etc. CON - "endurance" = taking the hit and the pain and pushing through it INT - "cunning" = understanding of your opponent's attack and how to avoid it WIS - "favor" = blessings by your god or luck CHA - "perseverance" = confidence and belief in yourself that you can survive Or basically whatever you want to use to justify them. 🤷‍♂️ Most PCs begin with +5 to +8 in total ability score modifiers, by the end of the game you are likely +3 to +5 higher maybe IME. Obviously this gives PCs better HP at lower levels, but evens out around tier 2 and is lower by tier 3 and 4. Just a suggestion for people who might like the idea. :) [/QUOTE]
