[QUOTE="Thorvald Kviksverd, post: 314166, member: 1495"] Since you're already using different HD for classes, here's a little tweak to [b]Plane Sailing's[/b] idea... (BTW, I really like his idea.) [color=red]Adjust Base HD or HPs according to composition (% organic) of body... [list][*] 0%: -5 (-3)[*] 10%: -4[*] 20%: -3 (-2)[*] 30%: -2[*] 40%: -1 (-1)[*] 50%: 0 (0)[*] 60%: +1 (+1)[*] 70%: +2[*] 80%: +3 (+2)[*] 90%: +4[*] 100%: +5 (+3)[/list][/color] Note: The numbers in parentheses would be used with [b]Plane Sailing's[/b] suggested 20% increments (with 50% added). [color=red]The HD/HP progression would look like the following... 1/3HP...1/2HP...1HP...d2...d3...d4...d6...d8...d10 ...d12...d12+1...d12+2...d12+3...d12+4...d12+5[/color] Note: 1/2HP gains 1HP every even numbered level, while 1/3HP gains 1HP every level evenly divisible by 3; or, as a simplification, you can simply rule that characters at this level do not increase HPs at all. For example, a 20% organic who pursued a class with a base HD of d8, would instead have his base HD adjusted downwards 3 steps to a d3 (or 2 steps if using 20% increments to a d4)--while an 80% organic taking the same class would have a base HD of d12+2 (or d12+1).
