[QUOTE="Tony Vargas, post: 9169645, member: 996"] It's not a crazy idea. There have been D&D-adjacent games, like early Metamorphosis Alpha and Gamma World where leveling didn't exist or didn't make much of a difference, and advancement came mostly from gear - I'm sure there are modern d20 examples, too. GW, BTW, gave you d6 HD per point of CON, so, have some hp. ;) I'd want to go with the high or mid point of a Tier for HD. You could do 4 HD per Tier, for instance, that's straightforward. You might want to go ahead and take the opportunity to nerf casters and buff martials, give a Fighter 1 attack/Tier, for instance, have highest slot levels based on Tier, 1 through 5 ... Maybe simplify things by just using the Pact Magic mechanic across the board? [/QUOTE]
