Fixed Hit Points

Set Hit Points¹

Instead of rolling to determine hit points randomly, characters receive a set number of hit points at each level based on their class.

Class	Hit Points at 1st Level	Additional Hit Points at each Additional Level
Mage	4	3
Thief, cleric, elf, halfling	6	4
Fighter, dwarf	8	5

This variant works well with the Point Buy Character Generation house rule, because it allows each character to be balanced without depending on random luck of the dice.
