Day 35: Words you live by, why do you like them
There's no harm in trying. :)
Cos one day you will feel like giving up or scared to do things that was meant for you. You will over think & have second thoughts about doing it. You keep asking "What if.." Well you will never know until you try. :-)

William Pope.L
The Black Factory Tour, 2005.
The Black Factory, artist William Pope.L's art performance action installation on wheels, sails off on its final voyage, traveling from Maine to the Rocky Mountains sowing provocation and discussion on race, difference and community across the heartland. It visits Newark at Washington Park on July 20, co-sponsored by Aljira, City Without Walls, and The Newark Museum.
The Black Factory, a mobile social service experiment, requires the participation of an audience to do its work. Typically the Factory caravan arrives at a town or roadside and sets up shop right then and there. The three person crew canvasses the neighborhood to stir up interest. Over the eight hour performance, they stop people on the street, feed them, cajole them and provoke them all in the name of forging a new dialogue about race and community in America. People respond variously. Some argue. Some sing and dance. Some walk away. Some donate their favorite black object to the factory's archive, and some visit the factory's gift shop and obtain a trinket whose profits support a local charity.
William Pope.L is a multi-disciplinary installation performance artist and educator. He participated in the Whitney Museum of American Art Biennial 2002, and has garnered recent acclaim because of his three year traveling retrospective 'eRacism' and the accompanying monograph 'The Friendliest Black Artist in America'. Pope.L is a 2005 Guggenheim fellow and is currently the featured American artist at the Dakar Biennial 2006.

The Yamaha SR125 is one of the oldest 125 cruiser type motorcycles on the roads today. It first appeared in the UK way back in 1982, was withdrawn in 1986, then returned in 1991. It's an ideal CBT motorcycle, but beyond a training school car park the Yamaha SR125 feels slow and outdated in almost every way.

When faced with the prospect of an exciting new genre – supermoto – Honda eschewed the concepts of excitement and boldness and instead produced the Honda FMX650 - a squidgy suet of a motorcycle. It is perky enough if you're a new biker, possibly, but unless mere adequacy is your buying criteria there are better motorcycles than the Honda FMX650. ...

The problem with the Honda NSR125R, and all other two-stroke 125cc motorcycles out there, is that the newer, four-stroke, Honda CBR125R has come along and made them look expensive and unreliable. The Honda NSR125R itself isn't a bad motorcycle, but it's way too dear and way too hard to de-restrict. Honda NR750 superbike styling looks great.

It's hard, objectively, to see the point of the BMW HP2. It's a 105bhp, 175kg off-roader that costs almost £11,000. Yes, it does have some clever technology like air suspension, but on the flip side its use as a road bike is limited, which is why the factory now offers free 17-inch rims and tyres with each new HP2.

Tan Howe Liang

1960 Summer Olympics
Medal record
Tan Howe Liang, PJG (simplified Chinese: 陈浩亮; traditional Chinese: 陳浩亮; pinyin: Chén Hàoliàng; born 5 May 1933 in Shantou, Guangdong, China) is a weightlifter from Singapore who was the first Singaporean to win an Olympic Games medal. He did this in the 1960 Summer Olympics in Rome where he won the silver medal in the lightweight category. Tan also broke the oldest-standing world record in the lightweight category in the clean and jerk in 1958.
Early life[edit]
Born in Shantou, China, Tan was the third of seven siblings. In 1937, he emigrated with his family from China to settle in Chinatown of Singapore. Tan's Teochew father died in a death-house at Sago Lane in Chinatown when he was 14. Tan left school after his first year at a secondary school.
Weightlifting career[edit]
Tan's weightlifting career started when he walked past the former World Amusement Park with his friends one day. There, Tan witnessed his first weightlifting competition and became intrigued with the sport.
Tan showed potential for weightlifting. After one year of training, Tan, then 20, became the national junior and senior champion in the lightweight division in 1953.
The lack of financial support meant that Tan had to pay out of his own pocket to finance his training and expenses. At that time, Tan was working as a clerk at Cathay Organisation. He also worked as a mechanic. However, he plodded on, after promising his late father that "One day, I will be the strongest man in the world".
In 1956, Tan failed at his first attempt in the Olympics at Melbourne where he blacked out. However, in 1958, Tan established a world record with a lift of 347 pounds in the jerk for the lightweight division at the 6th British Empire and Commonwealth Games, now known as the Commonwealth Games, in Cardiff. He also won a gold at the 3rd Asian Games in Tokyo that year. In 1959, Tan won a gold medal at the inaugural Southeast Asian Peninsular Games (Seap Games, now known as the Southeast Asian Games) in Bangkok.
On 8 September 1960, Tan made another attempt at the Olympics in Rome. In the lightweight category (60–67.5 kg) competition held at the Palazetto Dello Sports Hall, Russia's Viktor Bushuev had already won the gold by breaking the world record. It was down to Tan and Iraq's Abdul Wahid Aziz for the silver medal. Tan had one clean and jerk lift left when he felt some pain in his legs. The doctors advised that he return to the Athlete's Village for treatment, which would have meant a withdrawal from the competition. However, Tan did not give up and competed to claim the silver medal. He lifted a total of 380 kg to beat 33 rivals for second place.
Life after the Olympics[edit]
Tan tried to run a restaurant business but was unsuccessful. He worked as a taxicab driver for a short stint, before becoming a weight-lifting coach in 1974. After his retirement from competition, Tan was hired as a gym supervisor by the Singapore Sports Council at the Kallang Family ClubFitt in November 1982.
Tan's Olympic medal made him the only Singaporean to have won a medal at all the major international games — the SEAP Games (predecessor of the SEA Games), the Asian Games, the Commonwealth Games and the Olympic Games for 48 years. He also became the first weightlifter in the world to be awarded the International Weightlifting Federation (national honour) Gold Award in 1984. In Singapore, Tan was the only athlete to be bestowed the Pingat Jasa Gemilang (Meritorious Service Medal) at the National Day awards.
On 26 June 1996, a commemorative medallion set by the Singapore Mint was launched to celebrate the 1996 Olympic Games at Atlanta. It features Tan on one side of the medallion, showing him getting ready to lift weights. When the image is tilted to a certain angle, the picture would show him having lifted the weights. Izzy, the official mascot of the Atlanta Olympics, is featured as a three-dimensional image on the other side of the medallion.
In 1999, Tan was nominated for the "Spirit of the Century" award. In the same year, he was also nominated for "Singapore's Greatest Athlete" award, but conceded the award to former badminton champion, Wong Peng Soon, who was a four-time winner in the All England Open Badminton Championships in the 1950s. Tan was featured in Time's "Millennium" series on Singapore sporting greats in 1999.
In 2000, McDonald's sponsored Tan's trip to the 2000 Olympic Games in Sydney, where he joined the Singapore contingent and attended the weightlifting competition. McDonald's also donated S$10,000 with the aim to help revive the sport of weightlifting in Singapore. McDonald's also featured a two-minute special television commercial, titled "We Can Do It", featuring Tan's silver medal-winning feat at the 1960 Rome Olympics. The commercial re-enacts the different stages of Tan's life, from childhood to his triumph at the Olympics.
Tan is a humble man who never complained. Compared to the present day where Singapore athletes are promised a reward of S$1 million for winning a gold medal at the Olympics, Tan did not receive any monetary rewards for his effort in 1960.
Tan was given the honour of being the flagbearer at the closing ceremony of the National Stadium on 30 June 2007. The leotard and belt which Tan wore during his 10½-hour competition in Rome were put on display in a glass case in the Singapore Sports Council's Sports Museum at the National Stadium.

As my family and thousand of other families hustled into the Museum Center on a rainy Saturday morning, I reflected on the past and contemplated the future. As a child in the '40s, I enjoyed going to the train station to pick up my uncles returning from the war. As a grandfather, I am thrilled to accompany my grandchildren to see the Duke train display.
Somehow, we as a city can find $130 million to build a "streetcar to nowhere," yet we can't find the funds to preserve our past so future generations can enjoy this Cincinnati landmark.
If we call the streetcar project "visionary," what do we call neglecting the Museum Center? I have a word: "shortsighted."
Years from now, will today's youth have the same enriching memories of the streetcar that I have of the train station/Museum Center?

the designer and his muse — children of olympus in a very different way. but what could someone, someone with dark intentions, want with them?
A simple confession and she felt weak and heartsick in its wake. Everything about this was wrong. How could she know up from down without her North Star? He was more than a husband, or a lover—she felt unreal without him, a face and figure without life or purpose. Only when he smiled at her, said her name, did she feel the turning of the world. She took her strength from him—without him, she was uprooted and tetherless. (6,006 words)

If you had a friend dealing with the same things, you wouldn't berate that person, say, 'You're not working hard enough,' 'You suck,' or 'You're not as good as [whomever].'

Did you know that:
- Approximately 2.6 percent of American adults−6.1 million people−live with bipolar disorder
- Mood disorders such as depression are the third most common cause of hospitalization in the U.S. for both youth and adults ages 18 to 44
- About 9.2 million adults have co-occurring mental health and addiction disorders
- Although military members comprise less than 1 percent of the U.S. population, veterans represent 20 percent of suicides nationally. Each day, about 18 veterans die from suicide (x)
Mental illnesses are still highly stigmatized. Whether you chose to share your story or just offer to listen and help another, spread the word. We are people too and we deserve to be heard.
when you're younger, being smart and being able to pass classes easily without studying is not a good thing
because then when you hit a point where you do have to study for classes, you have no idea how to study

And then you cry.

Alright, followers, especially younger ones, we need to have a quick talk. Some of you in the cosplay community may have heard of the very recent murder of a 15 year old girl who had gone to a 23 year old's house in order to make cosplay, nicknamed the "cosplay killing" (a name I disagree with because the murder had nothing to do with cosplay itself).
You know, we all joke about how when we were all young our parents told us that everyone online was out to molest us, and we joke about it because we know that it's far from true. That doesn't, however, change the fact that there ARE people like that, and you should always be wary.
I'm not going to tell you to never meet people from online because in this day and age the internet is so prevalent that saying distrust everyone would be like saying distrust every stranger on the street, but I am going to tell you a few things, and they all boil down to being alert, smart, safe, and cautious. There are people out there who wish to do good people harm, and the internet is the perfect place for them to find victims.
- Every person you are meeting online has just as equal a chance of being your murderer as they are your soulmate.
- Never, EVER meet someone alone.
- If you do choose to meet with someone, always bring a parent or trusted adult with you, tbh preferably male. Even if they don't hang out with you and your new friend, they should be no farther than a table away at any time. Always have a parent or adult pick you up and drop you off, never get into a car with the person you're meeting.
- If you're a bit older (like me, i'm in my 20s) while you don't need an adult because you are one, it's best to have a large group of friends with you, again, preferably with some males (if you yourself aren't male).
- Never agree to go to a hotel room, home, apartment or secluded location with someone who you have just met. First meetings should always be in an incredibly public place with lots of people around.
- Always carry with you one of the following: a taser, pepper spray, a defense stick, a knife, a whistle, or if you have a conceal carry permit, a weapon. They should be someplace both safe and hidden, like a purse or bag, but also be easily accessible.
- Be wary of large age differences. I'm sorry, but it's true. This mainly applies when one party is under 18, especially under 16, and the other party is above 20.
- If the person you are meeting has a problem with any of this (you don't really have to tell them about the weapon, but for the other things) that is a giant red flag and you should NOT go to see them. A TRUE friend or good person will say "I completely understand" and even then, just because you've known someone for a month doesn't mean you know who they are or what their intentions are. No matter how well you think you know them, a relationship formed online should be treated differently than a relationship formed in person. Never let your guard down easily.
Currently, we don't know how these two met, but small bits of information going around suggest it was through an online cosplay community. Always, ALWAYS, be safe, wary, cautious, and most of all alert when talking with people online. This is especially for my younger followers, you don't want your mother to have to go through what this poor girl's has gone through in the past week.
The internet is a place that we've all come to feel safe at, but that safety is exactly what the evil people of this world search for when looking for victims like this poor girl, gone too soon. I would rather you look like an overcautious, untrusting person than a corpse, and remember that.

Scholarships for international students
The schemes listed are the main funding awards for international students.
Most funding schemes offer partial assistance; funding bodies have strict criteria and competition for awards can be fierce. Therefore it is worth remembering to follow any instructions for how to make an application and make sure you apply before the deadline (which can be over a year before the start of your programme).
If you are seeking financial assistance you should first contact your own Ministry of Education who will be able to advise you on your own government's schemes for students studying abroad. The British Council in your country should also be able to tell you of any British scholarship schemes for which you are eligible. If there is no British Council office, then contact your nearest British Embassy or High Commission. Some international organisations such as UNESCO and WHO operate scholarship schemes, usually for developing countries. In addition voluntary organisations such as religious bodies and charities sometimes award small bursaries. Contact the appropriate organisations in your own country for more information. You may also wish to visit the British Council scholarships and funding web pages.
Subject-specific scholarships and bursaries

Okay, I recently just finished my AS art & design on NICCEA board.
My coursework was based on 'The psychology of female perfection' which I completely loved as it was so easy to keep bringing the project further as it is a social topic of debate and concern of many teenagers. Our exam word was 'measure' which I chose to explore the measurements on time through photography, as in things like development of cameras past to present and how cameras effectively capture a specific 'measurement' in time.
In completing my AS I'm already thinking toward A2 and a project that I could dedicate myself to again, not something necessarily aesthetically pleasing but something deep or emotive as I found that the easiest way for me to express myself and get a high grade.
At GCSE I looked at the over used 'nature' which led me looking at 'mother nature' which I realised did not enjoy one bit comparing to my AS topic although still managed to get an A*. Anyone help me out with some good 'deep' project ideas as I definitely don't want to go through doing a project I wont enjoy especially in my last year!
Thanks :)

A beginner's guide to configuring Butler
I was a LaunchBar user but recently switched to Quicksilver -- probably for no good reason other than the need to stir things up. What I'd really like is a thorough point-by-point comparison of Butler, LaunchBar and Quicksilver, so that I could settle on one that meets my needs. Anyone got spare time on their hands?

Having reviewed most of the other sites in this network, I had a pretty good idea of what to expect from Sweet Monika and she almost lived up to those expectations. This is both good and bad.
The good refers to SweetMonika the model. This babe from the Czech Republic is beautiful - there is no arguing that fact. Her skin is soft, her face radiates sweetness and her body is just plain hot. The bad aspect has to do with her site. To be specific, the issues I have are with the amount of content and the update schedule.
Currently, there are five videos and 52 photo sets. That amount is pretty bad, but the bigger issue is that we haven't gotten any new photos since September 2011 and the most recent video dates from 2008. Hopefully, Monika will someday get back to updating because it would be great to see more of this Czech beauty, especially on the video side of things.
When you check out the content you'll discover that it's all good solo softcore. Monika is supersexy and watching her strip, pose and caress herself is a pleasure. The quality of the content is also pretty decent. The pictures are high-res and you can save them in Zip files and the videos come as good-quality MP4 files.
On its own, the website needs to update before it is worth investing time in. However, your membership also gets you access to 12 other "sweet" chick sites, all of which are sexy and softcore, but also small when it comes to their amount of content. They include Sweet Ira, Sweet Lucky, Sweet Marci, Sweet Regina and Sweet Zuzanna. Unfortunately, updating seems to have stopped across the entire network. A live cam is linked to as well, but taking advantage of it costs extra.
When you put all the sites together, you get a lot of great content. But you're not joining for access to a bunch of other solo-girl sites, as hot as those babes might be. You're joining for Sweet Monika and, to that end, the site is just too small to recommend.

- Preheat the oven to 200c/180c fan-forced. Start by roasting the vegetables. Place the pumpkin, red onion and sage leaves in a roasting tin lined with baking paper. Drizzle with oil and season with salt and pepper. Roast for 30-35 minutes until tender and browned on the edges. Set aside to cool.
- Meanwhile, prepare the pastry. Place the flour and salt in a food processor, add the butter and pulse until the mixture resembles bread crumbs. Add the Parmesan, water and egg yolk and pulse again until the dough just starts to come together. Transfer to a lightly floured surface and knead gently to shape into a round disc. Wrap in cling film and chill for 20 minutes.
- Roll dough out on a lightly floured surface and use to line a 23 cm fluted flan tin, about 3 cm deep. Prick the base with a fork (with out going through to the base) and chill for a further 20 minutes. Line the case with baking paper and baking beans and bake for 10 minutes. Remove paper and beans and bake for a further 10 minutes until the pastry is crisp and golden. Remove from the oven and let cool. Reduce oven to 190c/170c fan-forced.
- Arrange the pumpkin, onion, cheese and olives in the pastry case. Whisk together the cream eggs, basil and salt and pepper and carefully pour over the vegetables. Transfer to the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes until set. Cool and the serve the tart warm.

The Los Angeles Dodgers begin a 4 game series against the San Diego Padres on Wednesday night. Beginning a stretch of games where the Dodgers play 11 consecutive games in Southern California, the Dodgers need to abandon their game to game struggles and get what seems unattainable: momentum and consistency.
In baseball, there are so many games over so many days, over so many innings, but there are so few off days and so much time between pitches; it is almost tough to tell when you are playing baseball and when you are not. When one game ends and another starts runs together. The idea of momentum seems unlikely in the context of baseball because, how can you sustain it over 182 games?
"Momentum is the next day's starting pitcher" is the old maxim. The Dodger's top 3 in the rotation should bring plenty of momentum. But the Dodgers have no momentum. To get there, the team needs to start small. Build momentum over one at bat, then one inning, then one game, one series, one month. But if Matt Kemp is injured, Andre Ethier grounds into a double play, and the bullpen continues to struggle momentum is unattainable.
The Dodgers hace a mature group of mature leaguers, plus Yasiel Puig. They don't need to get amped to start momentum. Puig can handle that department. They just need good at bats, solid execution, and good health. Starting a stretch of 11 games in SoCal is the right time to start winning.
The Dodgers' starter for Sunday's series finale against the Padres has not been named yet. But in order to set them up and sit 'em down is Stephen Fife, Clayton Kershaw, Zack Greinke, and Hyun Jin Ryu to start the big three game series against San Francisco.

6 Using a multimeter, we checked the resistance of our sending unit by moving the float through its travel. Factory specs are between 10 and 70 ohms, and our unit's resistance varied from 8.9 ohms to 69.2 ohms, which is as close as these units were from the factory. To test the unit, place one lead of an ohm gauge on the wire connection for the fuel gauge, the other lead on the housing plate, and move the float from empty to full.

Brighton's Maccabees have gone from strength to strength since the release of their debut top 30 album 'Colour It In' in 2007. Their brand of slightly off-kilter British art-rock has seen them compered to the likes of Wire, Blur, Magazine, Futureheads and XTC. The frenzied live shows have generated stage invasions and riotous crowds buzzing to the sounds of already classic anthems like 'About Your Dress' and 'Toothpaste Kisses'. 2012 sees the release of 3rd album 'Given To The Wild', with more wild live shows sure to ensue.

P.J. Hairston has been arguably the best player for the North Carolina Tar Heels since head coach Roy Williams bucked tradition and went with a four guard lineup inserting Hairston into the starting lineup at the unfamiliar power forward position. Hairston has shined and has become the player this UNC team feeds off of.
Hairston already with tape around his left wrist suffered one of the strangest injuries I've ever seen in the ACC Tournament championship against Florida State. Going for a loose ball, P.J.'s non shooting left hand was cut in the webbing, quite badly I might add requiring several stitches.
Tar Heel fans have the pain of critical injuries in March all to fresh in their minds after both John Henson and Kendall Marshall suffered injuries late last season. Henson was able to come back but Marshall had to sit out a critical tournament game which ended their championship run.
Hairston has been very tough playing through the injury with almost no reminder of it other than the gigantic bandage he has on his left hand. When interviewed after UNC survived a closer than it should have been contest with Villanova, Hairston revealed that the injury wasn't hindering him at all (proven by his 23 points on 7-11 shooting, five rebounds and three steals) and that he would have his stitches taken out Monday.
The Tar Heels are set for a match up with Kansas on Sunday and if the Tar Heels are fortunate enough to advance, hand gate will be behind them.

Flawed House Rule: Double-Rolling Hit Dice
I'd imagine that most Dungeon Masters have made their own tweaks and variants to the Dungeons & Dragons game system. The most popular of these "house" rules often spread to games run by other DMs. Unfortunately, popular doesn't always mean good.
One example of such a flawed rule is double-rolling hit dice, wherein players roll twice for each hit die and take the highest result. I got this one from my former Dungeon Master, and used to use it in my early games. It's clearly popular among powergamers, and at first sight there's nothing wrong with the rule.
Mathematics disagrees! Statistically, double-rolling increases the average result of hit dice, making characters tougher. A fighter's d10 rises from an average 5.5 to 7.15, an increase of 30% before Constitution, and with 16 Constitution still around 20%. The problem with this, as opposed to something like higher ability scores, is that you throw hit points out of whack with everything else in the system. Your saves and offensive abilities are not improved, only your capacity for taking damage.
In this case, it's especially bad because more hit points has the only effect of letting you last longer and relax a little in combat, taking an element of risk out of the game. This has the effect of making combats last longer and making the game more dull, the latter of which is a Bad Thing. If you scale up the opponents' hit points by double rolling to compensate, it just exacerbates the effect and makes extra work for yourself, and if you scale up the opponents' challenge ratings you've simply made the game more deadly because your players' offensive and saves don't match their hit points.
Beefing up your player characters for its own sake isn't necessarily good. If it just makes the game easier for your players, it's not necessarily going to make the game more enjoyable.

Well, I agree with what you are saying, but what happens to the player who is just plain unlucky and happens to be the group's 'tank'. What if he rolls 1 or 2 on his 1d10 hp roll for 2nd and 3rd level? This in its own right is unbalancing. Maybe a compromise would be to have the player roll two hit die rolls and average them. This will change the 'bell curve' to produce more average results and thus counter the argument either way. A player would have to be real lucky to get max hp or min hp.
I have heard all kinds of House Rules on the subject from ½+1, two rolls, and even max past 1st level. I guess it boils down to how the DM wants to run his campaign. For instance, PCs with max HP will run into 6 Orcs instead of 4 for instance.
Thoughts of a D&D addict,
Our GMs usually play that we can choose to have a second roll only if the first result is low relative to the dX eg can reroll a d10 if the first roll is 1, 2 or 3.
Also, if you reroll you have to take the new result.
Using your example above, the average for d10 (assuming you always take the reroll) would go from 5.5 to 6.55 - still 20% higher without Con bonuses - but it also doesn't distort the distribution as much (chance of a 10 is 13% vs 19% under the 2-roll system).
I DM a house rule in an Eberron campaign where a player can burn an action point for that level if she rolls a 2 or less on a hit die. I don't know ow it affects my choice of challenges for them but it feels fair enough.
I have never heard of the "best of two" house rule and I am glad. Your argument makes perfect sense.
We had a reasonably detailed argument about this once. After some discussion, we realized the real goal is to improve the bad rolls, i.e., bring up the lowest percentile of characters, while not inflating the average much. Some good methods for accomplishing this are the following (the second is a generalization of poster 2's approach)
(1) For dN hit die, roll twice, add a random 0 or 1 (decided, e.g., by rolling d6/4, round down), and divide by 2 (round down). This has the same mean and median as the usual roll dN approach, but substantially reduced variance. Some players don't like this because it makes the high numbers rare as well.
(2) Roll dN. The player can choose, once, to re-roll this result. The optimal strategy for minimized variance is to re-roll anything lower than N/2 (i.e., re-roll a 1 for d4, a 2 or 1 for d6, etc.). Roughly speaking, this inflates average hit points by N/8 while doubling the hit points of the bottom 15th percentile of characters.
My house rule is to give everyone max hit dice for their class. But of course all of the bad guys and monsters get maxed too ;)
I agree the above method is no dice.
We use the double rolling hit dice rule, however, if a roll is rerolled the player must keep the second result.
If you're worried about the fighter rolling low, but want to include some randomness, I would think the best way would be to subtract 2 from the max roll to gain +1 hp. ie. barbarian could do d12, or d10+1, or d8+2, d6+3, d4+4, or take 6. Minimum roll d4. Then add con bonus.
One interesting one way to allow for a certain minimum hp is to have players who roll below average simply take the average. Thus, your players will always have at least the average. Of course, the most important is to take this into account when making enemies or challenges. As for max hp, it's a risk, but can be worthwhile if done properly (I've seen close to this, with increased challenges, but we ended up retconing anyway).
The low roll is a problem, slightly offset by the fact that a normal fighter type should have at least a +2 con bonus (this varies, I know, but generally). The strategy we're using at the moment is that you can either take (N/2)+1 for DN, or roll it and accept the result. This unfortunately discourages anyone with a low hit die from ever taking the chance, while leaving the character with high hit dice with a dilemma (being a former mathematician, I'd just take the (N/2)+1 even with a high hit die, assuming 20 levels).
My personal choice would probably be some variant on Andrew's suggestion: I'm not convinced that low hp characters are very viable, and I don't think the game makes enough allowances for them.
In levels one to three I think it's a good idea to let PCs have above-average hitpoints. From a GM perspective, your choices for fun, appropriate challenges are severely limited if a character can be killed by just one unlucky blow.
In my current campaign, I gave everybody max hitpoints at level one and let them keep the best of two rolls at level two. For every level up after this the rule is one optional re-roll, must keep second roll.
I guess technically, monster hp should be rolled using similar rules for balance purposes … but then I hardly ever roll monster hp anyhow: They have average HPs, but get more or less on the fly, depending on how combat goes and what best serves to dramatise the story.
In the 3.5 game I'm in (not running) we re-roll if the roll is under the midpoint.
While this could be quantified mathematically as N/2 + dN/2, we just roll and figure it, then re-roll.
We're still early in the game, so the GM might change it later on.
Though I like the N/2+1 for the Bard and Sorcerer (or other d4 classes).
I've been using the roll twice method that my friend has been using for his game. This is also an example of house rules being contagious :) If I had to do it all again, I would give you the first half of your HP, and roll the other half. As in:
d4 = 2+1d2 | d6 = 3+1d3 | d8 = 4+1d4 | d10 = 5+1d5 | d12 = 6+1d12
This means that everyone has at least a hair above average hit points, and still some randomness. There's obviously more randomness at the top end (barbarians with 7-12, wizards with 3-4), but I will never run a game where I'll allow a barbarian to roll a 3 for hit points, period. It's one thing to roll poorly in a critical situation, but it's yet another to miss out on one of the prime features of your class due to a single die roll, and be stuck with those consequences for the rest of your life.
In the past few campaigns I've used this method:
Maximum hit points for the first 3 levels, there after roll for hit points as normal but always reroll 1s.
My tank players will usually be alright with an occasional 2 or 3 rolled and the mages always love it since they have HP closest to average with this method. For my group of 4 years this has worked fine. :)
Of course as a DM I do have back up plans for those who tend to roll low consistently and fall behind the curve… finding an occasional "Potion of Perminant +1d6 HP" in a treasure trove is not a bad way to bump up those lagging scores. :)
Here's how we do it: :-)
1st level characters get maximum hit points
All rolls thereafter for hit points are straight rolled.
The feat Toughness allows characters to re-roll 1's (in addition to the normal description)
1st level get max hit points, and level one adventures don't involve combat. Pure roleplaying and skill checks, level to 2 before any combat. Level 1's are too fragile.
I generally judge each case separately. If a fighter has slightly below average hitpoints, but above average stats (strength, dex) I let it slide. Another option to burn a wish to reroll all hit die for a character, but again that could be good or bad.
Bad rolls really only affect the high die type users - a 1 fora wizard doesn't hurt like a 1 for a barbarian, so that must be taken into consideration.
Also consider party makeup. If there are 2 clerics of 4 characters, let them keep the 1's!
The simplest fix…. Everybody gets the average hitpoints across the board. Solves the problem of the unlucky who keeps rolling low hitpoints and the inflated power of those who get too lucky.
1d4 = 2.5
1d6 = 3.5
1d8 = 4.5
1d10 = 5.5
1d12 = 6.5
3 possibilities: 1) Round down… 2) keep factionals, every other level equals an extra 1… 3) round up
In my last 3.5 campaign, the PCs got max at first, and average with fractions for each level after.
I'm DMing a campaign currently at level 3. So far, I've offered to let the players choose any number of dice to roll, and then they must average the results (rounding up to the nearest integer, so it's slightly in their favor). They get to choose the level of risk they're taking. At levels 1 and 2, they picked 2-4 dice to protect themselves from bad rolls, but by level 5 or so they'll be back to standard HP rolls, to re-capture the fun of the risk.
Having played both sides of the spectrum, I'd prefer to have my characters roll for HP, and I'd prefer to give them every opportunity to roll well…
I've taken averages, but that's not fair to the players. A barbarian who has a d12 loses 5-6 hp per level. At the higher end of the spectrum, that's an extra 100 potential hp, and at the lower end, that's an extra hit from a longsword…
Overpowered PCs can be compensated with by more and higher powered monsters. If the fear is that they'll fail saving throws vs more powerful NPCs, but throw more bruisers at them.
In the end, I've found it better for the party tanks to have the HP to suck up a lot of damage.
It's interesting to note that 4e assigns maximum hit points at every level. Our approach in 3.5 has been to max the hit points for the first three levels. After that, players have a choice:
Option 1 - Average Result
They can choose the average number of hit points (even level equals half the die so D6 is 3 for levels 4, 6, 8 …; odd level equals half the die plus 1 so D6 is 4 for levels 5, 7, 9 …
Option 2 - Straight Roll
But the most important consideration is that all of this takes place within the larger framework of the complete game system translated into the campaign. We often have cleric-lite parties. Thus the need for various magic, summoning spells for hit point sponges, or allies (in the crawl or during rest). Encounters also get adjusted based on the nature of the party. So there is no
silver bullet of a rule mod as everything is connected. What's more important is to seek balance.
Clarification - each level after 3 the players choose Option 1 or 2; they get to make this decision each time.
I disagree. You seem to be implying that the game is perfectly balanced as written for every gaming style. That is impossible.
For some styles of gaming double rolling, average hit points, and other hit point tweaks are perfectly reasonable.
Of course it affects overall game balance and that must be taken into account. However, it does not outright break the game. It is just a matter of style of play.
I have to agree with Matt. There's no one answer to every situation. But i also have to point out that GM's RARELY ever roll for the HP of their monsters, which means the monsters get average every fight, while the pc's get their butts kicked or they over-survive every fight. If you make a rule for your pc's, then make it apply to your monsters. If the pc's are known to roll low, then the monsters should be known to do the same, except for special occasions. Keep it fair, most of all keep it fun.
We play it like this: you can reroll if you want but you *have* to take the second roll even if it's worse that the first one.
We tend to have high-powered characters anyway, taking on encounters with an ECL at least 1 or 2 levels higher than our party average level. As a result, we tend to overpower our characters - for example, rerolling 1s in ability score generation, or taking the average die roll on a hit die if you roll under half (or if you roll a 1). It doesn't tend to unbalance things too much as long as the DM uses the same rules for his NPCs and monsters, or always throws average party level + 3 or so ECLs at us.
I think the whole argument about how having higher hit points makes the character more relaxed in combat is kinda loaded in one direction. Some times a player just flat out rolls high for his hit points. Is that bad for gameplay then when random good luck happens? We had Elmo join us for the original Temple of Elemental Evil and for the first 4 new levels he gained, the DM rolled 8s for HP (We always roll HP in front of the group) and my paladin often rolled 7-10 the majority of the time. That was good for us…
Meanwhile my sister in law Amanda's melee ranger was on the opposite spectrum. She had a +1 Con and rolled 1-3 the majority of the time. By the time we reached the pyramid with the earth elementals she was a 6th level (I think) ranger with 32 HP (on 7d8+7? ick!) She got hit by a critical and went from full health to -10 in one blow. She was careful and safe but her bad rolling completely screwed what was supposed to be a melee fighter.
PCs are supposed to be a cut above the rest so I don't see why extra HP should be condemned… no one wants to think their big bad melee character is as durable as an adobe house in a rain storm. Besides… if you are that concerned with the die going from a 5.5 to a 7.15… just take average life for a monster and bump it up the same increment or maybe a bit under.
I am currently running a Greyhawk Campaign using the Pathfinder set of rules.
I like my player's characters tough than the average Joe soap.
Maximum hit points for the first 3 levels, then from level 4 onwards we use the sysytem below.
d4 = 2 + 1d4/2
d6 = 3 + 1d6/2
d8 = 4 + 1d8/2
d10 = 5 + 1d10/2
d12 = 6 + 1d12/2
I also tend to keep the gloves on for the first 3 levels so that the players can find themselves and at least let the character develope a bit. BUT level 4 the gloves come off!!

I just started accessing the Android Pit, and I apologize if this subject has been covered before. I am looking for a decent Browser for my Toshiba Thrive tablet. IE sucks. Dolphin is just as bad. Any other suggestions?

Thanks,
