    I suppose you could always make something better, which is why they are on the 3rd edition of dungeon and dragons. and even our campaign makes some slight modifications to some of the rules. but many things being discussed are major changes which changes the whole complexity of the game. if you change the way hit points are done on humans, wont you in effect have to change the hit points on say a wolf or elephant or ogre or dragon because they no longer will be proportional to each other. for that matter why does a dwarf fighter or human fighter or gnome fighter or halfling fighter get the same die to roll for hit points. one could argue a dwarf should get a larger die to roll than an elf. or a human more than an halfling. the hit point system has proven to work so why change it on the basis its not realistic?

    To answer lord eldred, no it doesn't slow the game down, assuming that you already keep track of hit points. Besides its kind of cool to be able to see the that the damage of your Great sword crushed your opponents leg and is now forced to fight you from a prone position. But this also works both ways.

    Now that is a concept, don't keep track of hit points at all. Hmmm, I can see it now. "Players your characters are dead when I say they are dead. If you don't like it, leave!"
