Guess i need to roll too
Sweet
+4 hp on what i had :P
I think it was asked since the norm on the forums for HD is half+1+con :)
I have to roll another die for HP since we need to roll for all of it.
Okay that didn't actually change anything from my previous post so my submission is upto date.
Far as rolling the hp goes, gonna be all dice.
Previous games I've played I've let people max out hp and the game becomes...pretty easy actually when you have max hp at any one point. Giving a 25 point buy helps the difficulty a bit for stats, but keeping the hp nice and random and averaged out makes your average CR encounter for your group still a challenge somewhat.
I wasn't advocating for max hp all the way (if it came across that way, I apologize), I was asking if the first hit die could be maximized, as in this way a character has at least some hitpoints even when they roll very low for their other levels.
For example, if adventurer#33 would have rolled another 1 for his hitpoints, he would have had a total of 9 hp. Which seems very squishy or if the tank character rolls all 1's (I know, highly unlikely, but still a possibility)
One sidenote about the games you had where the players all had max hp, did you just use the hp listed in the monster blocks or did you also max their hp (as monsters are assumed to have average hp/hit die). This means if you maximize the monster hp they also have some more staying power.
As I stated before. I'm not advocating max hp all the way, only for a characters first hit die (be they players, companions, monsters ...), so that those with unlucky rolls aren't dying due to the first 2 hits on them or something like that. Unless that's something you want to have as a possibility, because then I at least know what to expect and I might have to change a thing or 2 in order for more survivability :)

Ilamin Dracus is a 112 year old Agathion-Blooded Aasimar with green and yellow dragon scales dotting his beautiful skin, hinting at his Draconal Agathion ancestry. He is a gentle and kind person, but as an adventurer he has learned not to take everything at face value. He will go through great lengths to help and protect his friends and allies.
Ilamin hails from the beautiful country Tianjing in distant Tian Xia. He lived there for 82 years in one of the smaller villages. As a young lad he spent many a day reading through old books on various academic subjects which were given to him by his father.
During his adolescence his studies got a more practical nature, as he learned the art of Summoning and spent his time calling forth creatures from various planes and playing or conversing with them until they returned back home.
On one of these days he formed a more permanent connection with one of these creatures, Excetra, a serpentine creature from the realm of Nirvana, Ilamin’ ancestral home plane.
Ilamin is fiercely protective of Excetra and does his best to keep him from harms way, summoning other creatures to help him if he needs to fight.
Although Ilamin has spent most his time on magical and scholarly pursuits, it was not his only interest. He has a curious nature and a love for adventure, so when a band of adventurers came to his home town looking for anyone willing to help them with the quest they were on, he gladly accepted. From that point on he came back home only sporadically, mostly to tell his father about the amazing adventures he had been a part of and where he was off to next.
In this manner he spent the last 30 years adventuring, joining up with several groups of adventurers, making some lasting friendships along the way.
Currently, Ilamin stands in the middle of what seems to be a gladiatorial arena, surrounded by people unknown to him. The last thing he remembered was sitting in the Copper Dragon Inn drinking and talking with Caladrel and Cronwier in celebration of a job well done. They had been hired to defend a trade caravan going travelling to Goka. Along the way it got attacked by band of Orc raiders which they expertly fended off. But as far as he can tell, he’s not in Goka anymore and none of his companions are with him ...
Allies/Friends
Cronwier, an Aasimar cleric of Qi Zhong, a dedicated healer and one of the adventurers that came to Ilamin’s village for help in a quest. They are good friends, but have differing opinions when it comes to the elements and how they are connected. Which has lead to many discussions about the subject.
Caladrel Undovir, a skilled ranger and one of the Elves of Jinin. He became a close friend after Ilamin helped him rescue some of his brethren from the clutches of the creatures in the Darklands. They went on many an adventure together from that point on, several of which involved venturing into the Darklands, which means there may be a few of its denizens that have a score to settle with Ilamin, Caladrel and several other adventurers.
Huu Tai, the human (Tian-Dan) owner of the Copper Dragon Inn in the city state of Goka. The Copper Dragon Inn is Ilamin’s’ “home away from home”. Here he meets up with his adventuring friends or relaxes after a succesful quest. Huu Tai is a former adventurer who bought the Inn when he retired. He’s not the best of hosts, but as long as you don’t cause any trouble and pay your tab, he tries to be polite.
Goals/Wishes
Before he got transported to this arena, his goal in life was to acquire enough power/wealth in order to be able to travel to his ancestral home plane Nirvana to converse with the beings there and learn from them.

Dark of Skin and hair most mistake Cara's Half-Drow heritage for Half-Elven heritage. Then mating of some fair skinned elf and a dark skinned human. She is however noticeably taller than most women and possess the characteristic Drow female dominance. Her hair long and flowing but dark as midnight unlike most Drow. She is ideal at 6' with 36" 24" 36" measurements.
Willful, strong, clever, and seductive with a vindictive streak. Cara embodies every aspect of her god.
Returning from a surface raid on an Elven village, a proud strong Drow warrior came across a young prostitute of Calastria. The prostitute seeing the dark exotic creature before her, instantly became desirous and took him there and then. This is the story of Cara's birth.
Cara was born in a temple to Calastria to a prostitute of Calastria. As a result of this she had a very religious upbringing. However given the nature of her particular religion it was not the stereo typical conservative upbringing. No, as a follower of Calastria Cara was taught to follow her passions.
Up reaching her majority Cara thought she would serve her god in the best was possible, and follow the road of the Calastrian prostitute, but soon learned this was not enough. The thing that changed Cara's mind about becoming a Calastrian prostitute was seeing one of her friends assaulted by a patron. This prompted her to take a sharp turn and become a monk of Calastria. Not just any kind of monk but one of the Hamatulasu. Her new understanding of both pleasure and pain makes an even more formidable prostitute. Moving between the two roles effortlessly, she follows passions without fear and those who get in her way she destroys.
Will add tonight
Good luck to those who got selected :)
Hope you all have fun (and have stocked up on potions of CLW... ;))
If anyone drops out, feel free to pm me.
I haz a wand of ILW all for me
Ya, I retooled it, but I guess I'm too late.

Thank you for selecting me! I'll get to fixing on my skills and my backstory ASAP, as well as for the Skype thingy.
I don't have that problem, but my internet connection is broken (I'm posting via my kindle at the moment). I don't know when or even if it will be fixed. If it's a problem, I'll have to withdraw, but I'd like to continue if it's possible.
