[QUOTE="hawkeyefan, post: 8825888, member: 6785785"] Yup. That’s a well worded description of it. There are two layers to play, as much as some folks wish it was otherwise. I would just let the players tell each other how many hit points they have. Yes, their characters wouldn’t know, but if hit points mean anything at all in the game, then one character should be able to look at another and realize “wow, Dirk looks like he’s on his last legs” or what have you. Why prevent that? I think this is a huge part of it, yeah. The desire to keep the players in the dark about things… seems like a red flag to me.
