Starting Characters with 0 hp?

Post by wavemotion »

We just had someone roll 1d4=2 and have a Stamina "bonus" of -2... do they die in character creation or should they be given 1hp?

1 hit point. Nobody dies in character generation unless you're playing Traveller.

Thanks! I see it now under the Stamina description that it is a minimum 1hp per level.
