So, I have thought about this. It is definitely something I will include in 2.0 (whenever I get around to finishing it). Try making a character with attributes that are 4d6, keeping the best three and adding them. Then, when rolling HP, roll 1d6+4, giving you a result between 5-10. This should ease the load, but you may still want to utilize hirelings whenever you can. Their specialty can alleviate most challenges wwith ingenuity. Thanks for the tip!
