I...I am with you on your proposed solution, Chris.<br /><br />In UWoM (not extant, but the final version), Humans are d6FD as are most other Medium creatures, while Smalls are d4s, and Larges are d8s, only getting larger FD as their size/mass/ferocity increases, but with a few occasional switcheroos to keep things fresh, as it were.<br /><br />:)Timeshadowshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09952601433965644275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8346997917591558747.post-20534230090896166112010-03-07T21:07:29.413+00:002010-03-07T21:07:29.413+00:00I like my orcs with 1d8 hit points, but otherwise ...I like my orcs with 1d8 hit points, but otherwise do not see any real problems. However, I like to roll smaller and larger dice as another variable for how tough a given monster is. That is to say, if I want a particular group of orcs to be tougher than the average, but still have randomised hit points over the full scale, I might roll 1d10 instead of 1d8 for their hit points.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05646247954542936623noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8346997917591558747.post-89272077051107804832010-03-07T18:19:53.741+00:002010-03-07T18:19:53.741+00:00Meh, I'll just use OD&D (aka S&W White...Meh, I'll just use OD&D (aka S&W Whitebox).<br />OH-OH, What about shifting variable-variable weapon damage up or down by your chart above by the opposite modifier and leave HD as D8? Would you accomplish the same thing? You know, like my two-handed sword doing d12 damage against punk ass gobbies but d8 vs. their big bro's the buggies? This way my glass-cannon magic-user's lightning bolts don't get nerfed.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8346997917591558747.post-18848325684246274192010-03-07T16:59:00.474+00:002010-03-07T16:59:00.474+00:00But I like my funky additions onto HD -- :o
Well,...But I like my funky additions onto HD -- :o<br /><br />Well, actually I admit I was too tripped up by that crazy notion you commented on, about the inability to hunt whales (some people need a wee~ bit of a reality check I think), to really think hard on the rest of the post ;3 <br /><br />I don't see any reason <i>not</i> to use variable HD if that's your fancy, though -- it seems nice and workable to me.<br /><br />One question, though: why is a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dhole" rel="nofollow">dhole</a> categorized in with trexies and purple worms ...?taicharahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02213053468697534564noreply@blogger.com
