[QUOTE="nonsi256, post: 5391690, member: 86164"] I always said this section was the hardest to swallow. HR rule #1 says that HR are meant to make the game more fun. Any rule that stands in the way of having fun should be discarded. If adding the suggested attributes becomes a time waster - just skip it. Yes, this is somewhat an oddball. Every once in a while I see a monster with special abilities that require saves with unorthodox ability modifiers. Its reasonable for CHA, which represents one's strength of personality and gracefulness to be used for Ref or Will saves in certain situations. A 1st level Half-Orc Warrior could start with 10 (racial) + 6 (class) + 20 (CON-score) = 36 HP (Half-Giant can gain +2 more and even beyond that with paragon levels). Add Toughness (1 HP per HD + level) and you don't lag behind - at least not in the first half of you pre-epic level progression. Crits are a classic case of both Makes-sense and of reduction in dice rolls. 1. By RAW, a 1st level Fighter with Imp. Crit has double the chance of scoring a threat over a 20th level Fighter with Weapon Supremacy. 2. You skip the confirmation roll. This also makes crits more intimidating (but OTOH, you're now much harder to kill when you reach ZERO HP or less) and makes high-level warriors' physical attacks a lot more meaningful without aiming for base damage scores by the hundreds. Neither do I - All I need is to know where to look, and if I forget... that's what Ctrl+F (on the page source) is for. But again, going back to HR rule #1, you should take things at your convenient pace. Again, you're welcome to present any suggestion you find contributive. [/QUOTE]
