[QUOTE="Oogar, post: 272490, member: 541"] Arguments can, of course, be made for both sides. In my game everyone has Max at level 1, after that each level gets a roll, if less then 50% of the max roll, they get 50%. Yes, there is still a thief in the group who has almost as many HP's as the fighter because he rolls well. Yes, it helps some players more then others.
