[QUOTE="GMforPowergamers, post: 8633706, member: 67338"] It is why I am pushing for 2e hp 5e low numbers and 4e structure (with adv/disav and concentration) for 6e. 2e hp BUT with a bump I should say... my most resent test was 3hd at 1st level then 1hd every odd level and a sethp at even levels... all HD lower no con mod to hp wizards start with 12 (3d4 maxed) FIghters start with 24 (3d8 max) barbarians with 30 (3d10 max) then at level 2 the wizard gets 1hp more (13) and the fighter and barbarian get 3 (27 and 33) then at level 3 they each get there 4th HD you would spend HD like 5e but some (not all) magic healing would be based on 'spend a HD+' or 'heal as if you spent a HD' but you would keep con bonus to hp recovered from HD. so a wizard gets to 20th with 12d4+10 (average 44hp) and the barbarian has 12d10+30 (avg 109hp) and lower ALL damages to go with it. a fireball doing 5d6 (17) sounds deadly in that game [/QUOTE]
