[QUOTE="pming, post: 6807433, member: 45197"] Hiya! In a nutshell...yes, he rolled exceptionally well on 4d6, high three, place wherever. I allowed him to make a Goliath (probably his all-time favorite race). Needless to say, 20 Con. Max HP at 1st level, and rolled [I]very[/I] well for HP's (I have a house rule where if the player doesn't like what he rolled for HP, he can ask me, the DM, to roll for him...but he keeps what I roll, even if it is equal or lower...I vaguely remember rolling an 11 for him once, and a 12 at another time...2nd level I think that one was). We were allowing Feats this game...he took Tough when he hit 4th level, or was it Durable? One of those, I can't remember. Needless to say...yeah..."bag of HP's" was kind of his thing. As for PW:K...admittedly, we haven't ever gotten there with 5e. Hell, I think [I]I've[/I] only gotten there once...with my 20th level Elven Magic-User...Denakhan... and that was in 1e, playing 10 hour sessions, twice a week, every week, and almost every day during summer vacation (ahhh...the free time you have when you are a kid/teenager with no responsibilities or obligations...*sigh*...). Anyway...yeah...that took me [I]SIX YEARS[/I] of playing him that way. Yeah, you advance rather slowly in 1e... ^_^ Paul L. Ming [/QUOTE]
