Comment on What are some old games that are hard to revisit, because a more modern and superior version exists?
spankmonkey@lemmy.world 13 hours agoI think BG3 also does max HP for 5e which is higher than the edition(s) used for 1 & 2. Did 1 & 2 use random HP for first level as well?

I don’t have an encyclopedic knowledge of 2e, but I think first level HP might be set in stone by class, and the Enhanced Editions of BG1 and 2 give you a max HP per level option, which doesn’t really help at level 1. Dynaheir keeps getting smoked with her mere 6HP, and she can’t get to level 2 fast enough.

Yeah, 2nd edition d&d was far, far more brutal than 5e.
