How To Increase Your Real Life Hit Points
howtodothings.com — Hit points - the amount of damage you can take before falling unconscious. As any self-respecting RPG fan will know, hit points are boosted by your constitution modifier. Here's how to make sure that your constitution is up to scratch.

- aboyd, on 04/09/2008, -0/+4Hey may be a jerk for taking a swipe at someone's sincere blog entry, but here's the thing: he's kinda right. If you're going to go with a "hit points" theme, you need a little more than "work out and eat well," which is pretty much what this blog suggests. It would have been more accurate and fair to just call the article, "top things you can do to get healthy."
For "hit points" I'd expect some kind of actual quantification, you know? I mean, hit points are numbers -- a true rating of how much abuse you can endure. So I want to see numbers. For example, "After testing, we disovered that endurance training 4x a week results in the ability to last 65 seconds longer in a fight, on average." Or, "After feeding test subjects followed our diet for 6 months, we found that they were able to withstand a jolt of electricity that was twice as powerful."
Seriously, don't do hit points unless you're going to tell us how many extra hits we can endure.

- OBDriftwood, on 04/09/2008, -1/+3I'd rather wear Elvin armor.

Thank you for sharing. I share too. http://www.whatwinnersdo.com- billlyboobs34, on 04/09/2008, -2/+1Spammer
- billlyboobs34, on 04/09/2008, -0/+3They forgot the last tip: carry a weapon
- doctechnical, on 04/09/2008, -2/+2These tips are worthless if the threat is at the door NOW. Might I suggest a dose of PCP?
- DrDragun, on 04/09/2008, -0/+2Remember Effective Hitpoints is really a function of your base hitpoints times your armor class % damage reduction. After a certain point it is less beneficial to add hitpoints than simply adding a little bit of armor.
Phone books and duct tape work in a pinch to boost your AC. - frogman54, on 04/09/2008, -0/+2I wear a layer of bubble wrap under my clothes. Packing peanuts are just too annoying.
- fluidfoundation, on 04/09/2008, -0/+2This is why my coat is lined with phoenix down and I learned to cast Meteo.
- ThemUser, on 04/09/2008, -0/+2Check out my chain mail... It's enchanted and ultra small. I carry it in my wallet.
Warm Geeky Regards :)
