I have come across a house rule used by other gaming groups that I like and would make both the players and my job as DM a bit easier and allow more room for bad dice.
" We are playing with a house rule that allows characters to survive until they reach -hp equal to their Con score."
This would mean that if your character has a Constitution score of 17, he/she would not be dead until they reached -17 hp.
Thoughts? Comments?
If no-one has any objections, this rule will be put into effect at our next session.

Sounds fair enough.
ReplyDeleteOnly question I have is does this go by natural Con score or a Con score adjusted by magical equipment?
As in your natural Con score is 17, but you have a Amulet of Health +5, so your now dead at -22?

It would go off of yor current Con score. If it was magically augmented to 22, then you would need to be at -22 hp to die.
ReplyDeleteThe reverse is also true. If you take Con damage and your Con score is reduced from 17 to let's say 9, you would be dead at -9 hp.
