Since I've been beating this proverbial dead horse across at least 3 separate threads, let me clarify for a final time what I "want". Less hit points for humanoid creatures. Just humanoids. Because (most) humanoids should be less durable to damage than (many) magical beasts (with a few exceptions). Orcs with hundreds of hit points--too unrealistic for my abstraction abilities. A manticore with hundreds of hp, yes! Squishy squishy humanoids with hundreds of hp, no! Because a humanoid can only be so tough.   Now, I dont want to unduly unbalance them by reducing humanoid hp to a point it makes humanoids far less of a challenge. But I do want them to be a bit weaker when it comes to taking damage. Im not trying to get everyone to hit harder. If I wanted that, I would be saying all monsters should have hp shaved (not just humanoids). Or, I would have suggested some form of damage increase (like those ones you so perfectly modeled above in your post). Not sure where you could have gotten the idea in your Fourth point from...? Okay so I cannot use any damage increases...because they would work across-the-board against everything, and I am just trying to shave a little durability off humanoids only.... Hope this clarifies.</blockquote>
