When you first make a character. And lets say you choose to make a fighter. And since you starting off as level 7. The computer needs to roll those first 7 levels of HP does it take a max or is a luck of the roll?

I was looking in SK at my characters hp and the starting hp was 74. So I missed out on ten HP. Not a real big deal.

So my thing is in the game when you level up. You can get max HP/level. Which for my Barbarian would be 17/level with bonus. Do you think it would be cheating or just cheesy to max his HP out. With SK? :rolleyes:

If you have the Max HP per level option enabled, any characters you roll will start out with the maximum HP. ;)

Whenever I'm rolling and rolling and rolling after levelling up in BG1 (no such option there as far as I know) I ask myself "Why the heck don't I use SK" (or GK in that case).

In fact there's no difference between re-rolling for a certain result and editing except that you've worked harder for it if you roll and SK feels like cheating. It's the same with rolling character stats, I always do it altough I know what I want to be the result (31-35 points in total to be precise).

31-35?? how long do u roll for that?

when i made my monk, after a LONG time i was lucky and got 30, my other chars r 28 or less cuz it just takes ages.

for the HP, if u put difficulty to normal (3rd) it should max out. maybe i shouldve tried, my wild mage now had 20HP first...

Where do find this option when making a character for the first time. I know it is in IWD. But I could not find it in SOA.

Put difficult option to "Normal" or less, and max HP will be enabled

Something like an average of 20-30 minutes, including the fact that I most times forget to store the first good roll. But I've worked as a professional software tester for years, so I'm used to provoke rare situations.
