Beolvine:
By the book is what I had in mind, the only "house rule" is minimum 2 HP. Having only 1 HP really stinks.
OK, that doesn't seem too noticeable either way, and pretty easily lost in the noise people rolling 3d6 down the line.
Beolvine:
Not sure what you mean about players getting back into it? DO you mean having to wait for the group in-game to get somewhere (like back to the Keep) in order to meet up?
Right. I don't care what I roll for stats or starting gold or anything, as long as when my character dies I'm not out of the game for a month before there's a way for me to play a PC again.
