Hit Dice and Hit Points (CWS)

__TOC__
Dragon characters receive a specific number of Hit Dice depending on their age, type, and kit.
The dragon kit and the dragon cleric kit use eight-sided Hit Dice (d8). The dragon-psionicist and dragon-mage kits use six-sided dice (d6).
TABLE 4: DRAGON INFORMATION BY AGE (GENERAL) shows the Hit Die modifiers for each dragon age. The base Hit Dice available to each dragon type is shown on TABLE 8: BASE HIT DICE. 
When creating a new dragon PC, look up the base Hit Die for the particular type, then apply the modifier for hatchling age. For example, a newly created gold dragon PC would have 10 Hit Dice to start (base of 16, modifier of -6, 16-6=10). The type of Hit Dice rolled depends on the kit. If this gold hatchling uses the dragon PC kit, she rolls 10d8 to determine her starting hit points. 
Note: All dragons must select a kit at hatchling level, even though few of the kit benefits can be applied until a dragon reaches 1st level. 
Kindred and half-dragons use Hit Dice based upon their character class, just as demihumans in other AD&D game settings.
