Where can I find the MDoA table mentioned in this thread?

There was an alternative hit point system in one of the Arduin books, not sure if you'll remember these they were by a guy named Dave Hargrave back in the late 70s early 80s. Basically every character got a majority of their hit points at first level then they got one point a level after that. The b...

I know hit points are sort of a sacred cow, every player expects to roll a die at each level. That said here's a few thoughts I had on the subject. I was reading about a Epic 6 it's sort of a house rule idea where characters do not gain hit points past 6th level. This is based on 3.5 so characters s...

This has so many great things going, spells are not exactly limited to once per day, random effects, backlash, magic duals etc. Great stuff! I really want to run a game, I had a few questions about t...
