[QUOTE="Mordeth, post: 812125, member: 5313"] In a campaign that I play in, hp rolls are becoming a real issue. The Rog2/Fig1 has 16 hps while the Dru3 has 32. I believe their cons are 14/16 respectively. Obviously. he rolled really bad, a 1 on his fighter level no less. My point is, he is basicly crippled as a melee class. He goes down in every fight, and he is playing pretty defensive. I know that there are things that he could do to make up for the loss, mainly wasting feats. What I dont understand is the random factor away from combat. You dont roll for feats. You dont roll for skill points. You dont roll for class abilites. Away from combat, I "think" that is the only rolls that we do on our character sheets. I just dont feel its balanced that person can play a fighter for example, and be crippled by bad hp rolls. The HP is the meat and drink of a tank class. How many sorcs would play the class if they had to roll for how many spells the coul cast at each level? "Damn, I can only cast 1 1st level spell and 2 2nd level spells at 4th :(" What do you think? Am I off base on my thinking? I put this is Rules forum and not in House rules because maybe it needs to be changed. Any thoughts or comments are always appreciated. [/QUOTE]
