Hey Doug,
I have another leveling question about the Elf but its concerning DD. If I have an Elf who's a level 4 Fighter/level 7 Magic-User would he have 9+5 HD? I'm just trying make sure my math is correct.
Hey Chuck - no, that gives Elves too many HP on average, as compared to other classes. There are a few ways to handle HD for multi-class Elves. The Gygax method was to add up all HD and divide by two, rounding up. So in your example, (9d6+5)/2. Another method is one I prefer, just roll all HD when the Elf gains a level (rolling for whichever class, not both). If the total is higher than what the Elf has currently, keep it. Otherwise use the existing HP (I actually add 1 hp in that case so there at least some small bump at each level gain).Statistics: Posted by merias — Tue Apr 20, 2021 7:30 pm
