[QUOTE="The Crimson Binome, post: 7569888, member: 6775031"] The thing you quoted is not a rule, though; it's a [I]description[/I] of rules, and an inaccurate description at that. The [I]actual[/I] rules are that your HP come from a combination of class level and Con score, and it's a simple interpretation to say that class level corresponds to skill and Con score corresponds to endurance, but there are no luck or magical factors anywhere in that equation. Moreover, where luck and magical factors do appear in the system, they still don't affect your HP total. It's exactly like saying that the lethality of an axe depends on its size, your strength, and your keen perception. Perception is already a thing in this game. It's usually tied to your Wisdom score in some way. There are many effects which alter your perception, and none of those things impact your axe damage at all. If someone says that perception is a factor in how well an axe works, then they're flat-wrong. Even if it's the core rulebook making the claim. [/QUOTE]
