[QUOTE="Jondor_Battlehammer, post: 1902189, member: 5335"] Simillar to an idea i've had. D4 = D4.......2.5 D6 = D4+2....4.5 D8 = D6+2....5.5 D10 = D6+4....7.5 D12 = D8+4....8.5 or D4 = 2D2 D6 = 2D3 D8 = 2D4 D10 = 2D5 D12 = 2D6 or 3D4 to wilder_jw, As for re-rolling ALL HP each level, I hope you mean to see if they gain more HP. Not to gain a new total, even if lower than the original. This would put players on the track to average HP, unless they had lucky rolls to begin with.
