[QUOTE="LostSoul, post: 5164720, member: 386"] Poorly? ;) You take the number of hit points the PC gets when they gain a level (4, 5, or 6+), look on the chart and match that up with their current level. Then you add 1/2 CON mod to that. If there are any feats or anything else that adds to HP, the DM is going to have to make a ruling. e.g. Toughness adds +1. I didn't go through all the options because that would take too long. For example, you're a 1st level dwarf fighter with 16 Con. You get 6 HP per level, so you check out the chart - 10 hits. Add 1/2 your con mod, so another +1. Total = 11 hits. This doesn't change until 4th level, when you need to look at the chart again; at that point it will be 16 (15 + 1 for Con). Bloodied is 1/2 that value, like normal. Our 1st-level dwarf becomes bloodied when he has 5 hits remaining. It might work better if I said 1 hit = 3 or 5 HP or something like that, but eh. That seems too fiddly for me. I went with this logic: 1 hit takes down an equal level minion 2 hits takes down an equal level normal NPC 4 hits takes down an equal level elite 10 hits takes down an equal level solo Brutes get a bonus of +1, because they generally suck. For PCs, the logic is somewhat different. Low-HP classes can take 3 hits by an equal level opponent. Med-HP classes can take 4 hits. High-HP classes can take 5 hits. [/QUOTE]
