Dude, what game are you playing? Let's see our 1st level GW Half-orc fighter had a maximum of I believe 13 HP. We used the standard array and I believe the player put a 15 in Str to get a 17 strength and a 14 in Con to get a 16 Con. So 13 HP at level 1. Again, after a night on the town fighting kobolds and cultist no one was at full hit points. I can't recall how far donw he was however, but I honestly don't think the fighter was below 10 but again I am not sure. Cyranwrath attacks with a great weapon. His to hit roll is good because a I don't recall him missing and his attacks to 2d6+strength mod damage for each attack and if I recall correctly he gets to because I think the fighter was hit twice in round 1. The next round I want to say Cyanwrath attacked and breathed (I'm don't recall if he used his breathweapon in the same round he breathed and if he did I don't know if this is legal or not. The fight MAY have been 3 rounds because either way I know Cyanwrath did another rounds of swinging after the first and used a breath weapon). The NPCs Breath Weapon I want to say did over 30 HP of damage. The DM rolled the dice right in front of us and I think it was 4d10, but in all honestly by that point I was so burnted out on this adventure I wasn't paying attention as it wasn't my character fighting. All, I know is Cyran didn't not roll a critical and the damage dealt was sufficent enough, more than sufficent enough to outright kill a 13HP maximum 1st level PC per the instant death rule on page 197 of the PHB, and the breahth weapon is what sealed the fate. This encounter railroads a PC into going to fight and has a high chance of killing a PC. That is not a good combo in my opinion.</blockquote>
