		+	==Base HP==
		+	A character with 1+2 or less HD may either use their Base HD or Class Level to determine HP, rolling both and taking the best result (in a Traditional game) or taking the maximised die roll. A Human Wizard, thus, would choose between 4 HP or 8 HP. Characters with HD of 1+3 or greater, meanwhile, use both. In either case, it is modified by Toughness.

		+	===Hit Point Increases===
		+	A character gains their Hit-Dice Size per Level or additional HD gained. Characters gain fewer HP after Level 10; +3 if their HD Size is 10 or more, +2 if it is d6 to d8 and +1 if it is d4 or less.
		+
		+	Note, a character CANNOT decrease in HP from Leveling or taking a Class. If a 0th Level character takes a class with lower Hit Dice Size and this replaces their HD, their HP will not go down. Instead, they use their initial HP gained from Hit Dice. As such, a Level 1 Wizard with -1 Toughness does not have a maximum of 3 HP but a maximum of 7 (1d8-1). At Level 2, they would normally have 6, but in this case their HP remains the same. Only at Level 3, where their HP would equal 3d4-3, do they increase in HP to 9 (12 -3).
