I'm reading Clash of Kings, and poor Jon Snow is about to surprise some wildlings on a mountain. At night, in the cold. WITHOUT ARMOR.
Now this is no big deal for a D&D character. "Hmmph. I have 37 hit points, I can take a hit or two." But Jon Snow (and his buddy Stonesnake) has one hit die. If he gets stabbed, it could be curtains.
So how do you run an encounter, much less a campaign, when the characters have only one hit die? Is it plausible? What does character progression look like, if you take extra hit dice out of the question?
