[QUOTE="doctorbadwolf, post: 9195431, member: 6704184"] Yeah probably, as well as increased ability to mitigate whole attacks and other damaging abilities, but still less of that than the current HP bloat. Combine it with 0hp meaning death saves but not unconsciousness, and I think the game would be dramatically more fun at high levels. Why would the PC have 9 HP? Why would the dragon do more damage than a lower level threat? If you require that people write up an entire system in order to answer your hypothetical, put that in the OP. Otherwise, you’re going to get answers that only address one part of the system, and leave the necessary secondary changes undefined because they don’t matter for answering the question. And if you’re going to shart on people’s answers to your thread with pointless nitpicking, then find someone else to bother.
