D&D General I think HP should be based on weight

; then, warriors could have stoneskins , immovability etc as spell like abilities...

Well, in 5e it kind of does work that way for NPCs. Monster hit die size is determined by size (Tiny creatures have d4 hit dice, Small d6, Medium d8, Large d8 and so on), but the actual amount of HP you get is completely separate and scales off of CR.

I think that was actually an idea in D&Dnext.

RuneQuest/BRP uses Size as a major attribute and HP per location is a derived stat based on Size and Con.
