[QUOTE="FreeTheSlaves, post: 686439, member: 9952"] We use a reducing hit dice system, yoinked from these boards. You can reroll but use a one lower HD, e.g. d12 becomes d10. However d4 goes to d3 and then d2 to d1. :) The d3 is there primarily for wizards to fall back on, to give a bit more room rather than going straight to a d2. The purpose of this system is to: [list] [*]Allow a reroll that does not raise the average hit points too much above the existing average. [*]Pretty much ensures better than minimum hit points without totally eliminating the possibility. [*]Forces real thought before rerolling. [*]Tries not to favour one hit dice over another in regard to the reroll. [/list] [/QUOTE]
