Last Man Standing

[KiOwA]

As a side note, how do the HP traits work with Generals? A general can't have negative HP (they have 2 HP to start with, and the line of negative hitpoint traits confers a -6 to HP at maximum), so I'm betting it's calculated a different way.

[Sin Qua Non]

HP probably just has a minimum, like command, management and influence. A leader with -5HP in traits is actually a 1HP in combat, but any HP increasing traits have to neutralize the -5HP before being able to increase the leader's HP in combat.

What the actual minimum is I don't know. I would guess 1 or 2 HP.

AFAIK, there's only one line of virtue/vice that raises/lowers hitpoints, so there aren't any other VnVs that would co-exist along with them.

[Simetrical]

I've heard that generals get an automatic +5 HP, and captains get +1. This is why they're so often among the last in their units to die. A Cruelly Scarred, Hale and Hearty general would thus have no less than 21 HP. The bugger would be vastly tougher than an elephant!

(Actually, I've heard a dev say that there's an HP limit of 15, but that's still better than an elephant.)
