Hit Dice of Multiclasses

[JustWinBaby]

Only problem is because we get the max hit dice roll at every level, the game difficulty is adjusted likewise which translates to damage to PCs probably being about 30% more than it would were the hit points randomised.

Also maxing the roll has resulted in big differences between fighter types and casters types. This has lead to a situation where the lower HP classes (primarily casters) have to place such a premium on high con - higher than it should be IMO.

Got a point there.

Both. You can shape your Character with feats, skills, abilities, etc. Don't need to weaken it with a few bad rolls!

Part of a well shaped character is to have a few weaknesses too! Rolling the dice for your character lets you know that some other entity had a hand in the creation of your character besides just you and your DM. Whether you call this entity luck or something else is up to you. It's very important however to be able to blame things on said entity otherwise it can get a bit nasty with the DM.

That's why we have Devs...so we always have someone to blame for everything!

note That A Cr7 Mob Does No Necessarily Have 7 Hit Dice. In General The Mobs Hp Are Bloated In Ddo. Thats Why Hit Dice Based Spells Usually Don't Work In Ddo (except In The Opposite Way)

Cr =/= Lvl
