If you roll up a Pure Human with a CON of 18 and then somehow all 8's for HPs, you have a 1st-level character with a potential max HP of 144 HPs. Compare that with a beginning LL Fighter. His max HP at first level is 8. Big difference. However, the LL Fighter will increase in HD as he levels up, whereas Tim Sniderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17390608104314125626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3510797459079815239.post-79769948444848966222009-12-21T23:53:39.006-05:002009-12-21T23:53:39.006-05:00@ Sniderman regarding the HD - that is an eminentl...@ Sniderman regarding the HD - that is an eminently reasonable explanation. I guess the whole 1 HD per point of CON thing just throws off my comparison meter between PCs and monsters. <br /><br />I have been handing out the hit points like candy to the monsters in my Mutant Future campaign, but that is partly because the PCs have guns that do lots of damage as well.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07648499022366444265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3510797459079815239.post-77411081966704998522009-12-17T21:47:31.607-05:002009-12-17T21:47:31.607-05:00Awesome!

I won't be surprised (but my players may be) if some wasteland warriors go riding into town soon on Equorts.spielmeisterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09247265293145424283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3510797459079815239.post-84533660161729737142009-12-17T13:39:19.522-05:002009-12-17T13:39:19.522-05:00On page 76 of the MF rulebook, you'll see that...On page 76 of the MF rulebook, you'll see that both the war horse and the draft horse - both big damn horses - each have 3 HD. Truth be told, the equort is a war horse with a draft horse's movement rate.

They seem more in line with D&D conventions - 3 HD in that context is respectable. In the Mutant Future on the other hand, the puniest player character possible, with a 3 CON, is going to be roughly comparable to this large horse size creature in terms of damage absorbing capacity.
