So does anyone see any complications if I make the following changes?   1st level HP: As class but instead of adding constiution Modifier you add your con score at level 1.  2+ level: Class HP only, con mod does not apply, although if your con score increases so does your HP. HD: Whenever you spend an HD to recover HP you add your level to the number of HP recovered.

#6 FFSAA Dec 02, 2014 14:13:56	Seems workable.  Looks like you get about +12 HP at level 1, +0 at level 7 and -26 at 20 for a typical character.   I think at the two extremes there will be some problems, level 1 characters that may be too surviveable and level 20s that may be a bit fragile.  Also there are some monsters in the low teens that hit hard enough that the missing HPs might be noticeable in particular fights.

#10 SailingPirateRyan Dec 03, 2014 9:53:31	An option I suggested during the playtest was to let characters roll a number of extra hit dice equal to their Con mod and keep the best (if positive) or worst (if negative) result. This would be on top of a base HP total equal to their Con score. For example, a 16 Con barbarian would roll 4d12 and keep the best, rather than 1d12+3.
