[QUOTE="DND_Reborn, post: 7845644, member: 6987520"] The idea of all medium-sized creatures use a d8 for base HP was part of my source for the OP. Because NPC aren't really designed using classes. You [I]can[/I], of course, the but idea was you didn't have to and it was supposed to make creating such "monsters" easier. The only adjustment otherwise is how many you get. A Scout (CR 1/2) has 3d8 An Evil Mage (CR 1) has 5d8 A Spy (CR 1) has 6d8 A Bandit Captain (CR 2) has 10d8 A Druid (CR 2) has 5d8 A Knight (CR 3) has 8d8 An Archer (CR 3) has 10d8 A Martial Arts Adept (CR 3) has 11d8 A Gladiator (CR 5) has 15d8 A Conjurer (CR 6) has 9d8 They already give more d8s to many fighter-types, such as the Bandit Captain (10) vs. the Druid (5), or the Gladiator (15) compared to the Conjurer (9), for equal CRs. EDIT: Adding some of the highest CR humanoids that seem "class-based" in concept anyway: Archmage (CR 12) has 18d8 ArchDruid (CR 12) has 24d8 Warlord (CR 12) has 27d8 An archmage has 18d8+18 for 99 hp. This is exactly 4.5 per d8. An 18th-level wizard would have 92 assuming +1 CON bonus. A difference of 7 hp. An archdruid has 24d8+24 for 132 hp, also 4.5 per d8. An 18th-level druid would have 117 hp assuming +1 CON bonus. A difference of 15 hp. A warlord has 27d8+108 for 229 hp, or 4.48 per d8. An 18th-level fighter would have 184 hp assuming +4 CON bonus. A difference of 45 hp! So, not only do they give more d8s to non-casters, but by comparison to the classes, they buff non-casters in HP even more. [/QUOTE]
