Sure thing! Here you go:5E still has a lot of potential. But I want a starting hit point increase variant. I demand it.
I can't help notice after seeing multiple rev-rolls play out on-line, that there's a consistent pattern of some folks who complain about every little thing, and others who tell them not to: first because it's too soon to make judgements, then because it's too late to make changes.
:shrug:
5E still has a lot of potential. But I want a starting hit point increase variant. I demand it. I shouldn't have to ask for it as this was a big argument with those promoting low hit points and those promoting higher hit points clearly divided.
Here's one: Don't start your campaign at apprentice level.
Here, have another: Add your CON /score/ to your hps at 1st.
Seriously, I can see dumping on 5e for a lot of structural, hard-to-change things, but this is something that DMs have been fixing with a snap of their fingers for 40 years. I get the frustration that WotC has gone back to 'forcing' us to make this easy fix, ourselves, when they'd finally gotten around to fixing it officially, but it's not worth ragequiting over.
Yeah, this happened to me too. I'm hoping I don't follow the same path with 5E.(Then again, I thought 4E was the most awesome thing ever right at first. It took me a about a year to realize how many terrible design decisions were firmly engrained in its foundations.)
It is both. It is too early to determine if your issue is dealt with using an option found in the PHB or DMG. And it is too late to change anything, as both books have already been completed.
