Title: Max out HP rolls
Post by: Nufferz on 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.

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.

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.

Some of us are awesome enough to roll max hp rolls.

Your rolls are a factor of your awesomeness, so says I.

Not in favor of this. NWN already ups the hps by giving out only the upper half of the HD per class. I'd prefer all classes have average hp per lvl, including the first 3.

I'm totally for max HP rolls, so unfair people that have less CON and no toughness get more HP than one that has higher con and spent a feat to have more HP. IT actually does not even make sense to me. Either average after level 4 or max would be more fair, IMO. Anyway ... About that 'little trick' ...

I don't know why, but I have the feeling there is more behind that ... Or maybe I'm just paranoid?

Paranoid about not being manly enough, I think!

I'm going to close this since it won't happen anyway.

In fact, I will even let you know that we were going to do it until the nice BioWarians made it possible to hide HP gained.
