[QUOTE="dcollins, post: 1027995, member: 876"] As the previous poster said, this makes no difference. Like I said above, you must note the important difference between "full hit point score" and "current hit point score" in this rule. When this event started you had 90 hit points: that is, 117 max hit points minus 27 damage. Then you suffered Con damage which reduced your 117 max hit points down to 40 (not yet hitting the 11 minimum to max hit points). And at the same time it tacked on another 16 points of damage. So you had an ending result of 40 max hit points minus 43 damage, for a total of -3 current hit points. Summary: Due to your character's unusually high hp (almost the maximum possible) your character as described can never benefit from the minimum max hit points rule. Even if he loses [i]all[/i] his Con, (-8 modifier, max hit points drop by 88) that still leaves him with more max hit points (29) than the minimum (11). [/QUOTE]
