randomwizard<p>In Richard Garriott's DND1 written in BASIC in 1977, I thought this bit of code was interesting.</p><p>It would be Death Saves for HP in more modern discourse.</p><p>If the characters's HP are 0, the character survives if their CONSTITUTION is 9 or above.</p><p>If the characters' HP are below 0, the character survives if their CONSTITUTION is 9 or above, but they lose 2 points of CONSTITUTION and gain 1 hit point.</p><p>This was only 3 or 4 years after D&D had been introduced to the world.</p><p><a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/dnd" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>dnd</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/crpg" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>crpg</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/rpg" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>rpg</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/gamehistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>gamehistory</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/RetroGaming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RetroGaming</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/osr" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>osr</span></a></p>
