I'll ignore the rule that allows to roll HP values for the purposes of this thread, if you like rolling, that's fine - I do to, but I want to try fixed values and see what comes of it.The rule consists of using a fixed value of HP gained at each level, equal to 2/3 of the Hit Dice. It requires a variation of HP gained in increments of three levels. Depending on class hit die, we would then have hit points gained, at each group of 3 levels starting at level 2:(hit die = d6): 4/4/4...(hit die = d8) 6/5/5...(hit die = d10) 7/7/6...(hit die = d12) 8/8/8...This is instead of the flat [half HD value + .5] that is presently the rule. The flat +.5 rounding up for HP gained at each level, is advantageous to classes with the lower hit dice because .5 HP per level is a greater fraction of their hit die than those classes with the higher hit die. So it closes the gap a bit between classes. With this alternate method, the classes with the higher hit dice get more HP out of their levelling up. Actually, everyone gets a bit more HP at each level, except the classes that have a d6 as their hit dice. So it gives a bit of an advantage to classes with higher hit dice, but I think it's interesting, it emphasizes the resiliency of those classes.Thoughts?</blockquote>
