But your idea of spending HD to add more dice to the damage reduction would be nice, since sometime HD feels under-used.Ex: A lvl 3 wizard with 14 (+2) dex and mage armor (DR +2) is attacked by a Scout (2 attacks). The scout rolls the damage for two shortbow attacks, rolling 3 + (2 dex) and 4 + (2 dex) for a total of 9. The Wizard rolls its defense die (1d6, rolls 2) add its Dex (+2) and its mage armor (2). The wizard Defend for 6 points, thus taking 3 damage (9 - 6 = 3). Before rolling to defend, the wizard could have spend 1 HD to add another 1d6 to the defense roll.Critical hit:When you roll the maximum number of a damage die, you can reroll one more time the die and add it to the total. 1/roundChampion and hexblade can also reroll another damage die on a maximum number -1 (-2 for high level champion). ie: 1d6 = reroll on 5-6.Barbarian and Half-orc increases their number of times per round by +1 with their feature.Resistance:Resistance halves the damage taken from a source after the Defense roll is applied.Monsters:Monsters cannot spend HD to further reduce incoming damages, but instead add their highest stat to their damage reduction instead of Dex (unless higher, that is). Numbers of roll:In the end, its the same number of roll, but split between the attacker and the defender, instead of having 2 rolls by the same person (1 attack, 1 damage). Since they would roll at the same time when an attacked is called and the results can be quickly checked, I think it would even be a little faster.Starting Health CON + 1/2 HD or NotI tend to add 1/2 HD to the Con score for starting HP for the rare (but possible) case of a barbarian or fighter with 10 or less CON, since this rule, intended to be a low level buff to HP, would be a penalty for them is CON score = lvl 1 HP. (10 starting HP when a lvl 1 barb with basic rules would have at least 12).</blockquote>
