[QUOTE="greywulf, post: 3157037, member: 4285"] I'm quoting myself now. Is this wrong, or just a sign of insanity? :) I've had an email from one of my players who's suggested an alternative to Hit Points. How about Hit Points = STR stat + half their the Level number, rounded down. So at level one, you get +0 HP. Al level 2, you get +1. Third, another +1, Fourth +2 etc. Interesting idea. It scales well, and makes lower levels fragile (as they should be) and higher level dudes total tanks (ditto). By 20th level, it put Hit Points on a par with their D&D counterparts too, which is nice. Thoughts? EDITED: +level number was waaaaaay to high. Hald their level number is better. It works out like this, asuming STR 12 in M20 and CON 12 in D&D with a d6 Hit Die. M20 (STR 12) D&D (CON 12) 1 12 9 2 13 11 3 14 18 4 16 21 5 18 27 6 21 31 7 24 36 8 28 41 9 32 47 10 37 52 11 42 59 12 48 66 13 54 68 14 61 70 15 68 76 16 76 79 17 84 86 18 93 92 19 102 96 20 112 103 Hmmmmm. Fiddly. Maybe just STR Stat + d6/level is easier after all. :) [/QUOTE]
