[QUOTE="The Crimson Binome, post: 7844565, member: 6775031"] If you think you have found an inconsistency in the HP rules, then you have. The game is simply not so well-designed as to avoid inconsistencies, and this is one of the oldest and most pervasive. Regardless of which side you take in the debate, there will be rules that only make sense from the opposing perspective. Your options are to either stop caring about it, or to house rule it. Honestly, it would be fine. Ever since 3E, the hit die has been less important than the Con modifier. This change would encourage fighter-types to invest slightly more in Con, instead of counting on their hit die to cover it, which might put a small burden on Paladins specifically. [/QUOTE]
