In our ongoing Basic Dungeons and Dragons game we've lost a cleric and a magic-user in two games, one through violence and the other through accident. Now, we've not replaced the cleric yet (I think the player was more of a Pathfinder fan where your chances of survival are somewhat increased, so we've not seen him again). but the magic-user dude has rolled up a new character and, as agreed, we're sticking with the rolls we get.His new thief is pretty good, with some high rolls for his stats. Unfortunately, he rolled a one on his hit point dice.
That's right. A one. There were some comments regarding letting him re-roll and the like, but he stuck by the rules and the agreement we had all made before creating the characters and starting the game; he didn't change any of his ability score rolls and stuck with his single hit point. To balance this out, he got himself a bow so that he wouldn't have to get involved in heavy combat, and we've hired a retainer to look after him and our gear, which is costing us a pretty gold piece.
This should be interesting.
Good to luck to you all. Mainly him though...
ReplyDelete1 HP is hardly different from 2, now is it? After all, most attacks will still drop you. And of course, anyone at level 1 can be dropped by a good solid hit from a regular 1 HD monster who gets lucky, so ...
ReplyDeleteReally not a problem ;)
Now if he rolls another 1 for level 2 I would start to worry!
