Max out HP rolls

Nufferz · June 17, 2009, 02:40:48 AM

I'd like to see hp rolls changed to max rolls each level. It can be pretty devastating being in the upper tier of the hp rolls and receiving a minimum roll. It kind of just puts a damper on my character when I see that my hp is 12 or so below what it should be at level 6. It wouldn't be so bad if I didn't see that someone else with lower con or no toughness ends up having more hp.

I don't see what the problem would be considering it wouldn't really affect the style of play or role-playing of characters. Maybe as a compromise, max hp rolls up to level 5 or 6 rather than just 3. And, please don't bring up law of averages <_>.

Not going to happen.

Getting 7/12 or 8/15 a few times in a row is heartbreaking, agreed. On the other hand, it takes the edge off dying when you get another chance to re-roll. <_>

But makes dying after having gotten two max rolls in a row that much more painful.

I'd love to see it happen, but I'm pretty sure it never will happen.

Failing that, just give each class 2/3 of max HP after 3. No balance adjustments necessary!

Still doubt it will ever happen, but it's nice to dream about a world where your HP isn't random :D

I'd be in favor of this.

I'd kill for this. But it ain't gonna happen, might as well lock this now :(

No. Otherwise Naga and caddies will take over the server.

Sorry, but... eh. :\

Just to play devil's advocate here for a moment but...

What negative impact would it have on the server to have a set amount of HP per level? It doesn't have to be MAX each level.

It does actually theres no option to limit it! Either max hp or random hp.

Roleplay not Rollplay! Here here!

Actually for some odd reason I'm not actually for this, even though I roll some of the shittiest rolls and I think that other PCs are using 'tricks' to 'freely' reroll their HP(I think most of you know what trick I'm talking about)... maybe it's just my wanting to adhere to D&D standards, and I really have no reason to disagree with the suggestion, but I do.

What trick?

I think he's referring to something that has not been possible since the last patch.

I bet he is referring to what the realest of real men do. Keep on dying until they get a max hp roll. Repeat next level.
