If a class is about dungeon-crawling and then HPs are helpful just the same in their career, it makes sense everyone should have the same HPs.Now, one may argue that HPs are less helpfulf to a wizard than a warrior. However, why is that I may then ask? I guess the answer is because wizards rely on warriors to fight ahead and stop the hazards. But having an approach to dungeon-crawling like this, does not make you a fighting dungeon crawler. It makes you a "special partner" of a said warrior, contracted to help him in some tasks. It is the warrior that as a class knows he will directly be facing more risks in dungeon crawl, rather the wizard that his role is to stay in the back.Enter 4th Ed:With the unification of resource mechanisms and balance of classes for a combat career different HPs makes no sense. It makes a bit of a sense though on roles such as defender to be harder to bring him down on his defending position. However, I find it far more reasonable, at least fluff wise, that if they stay on a position and are set to defend it they will enjoy a better AC than say more HPs. Which means that they are harder to hit while defending a place- not that they are tougher for combat- since everyone is made for it the same.</blockquote>
