====== Hit Dice ======

By spending Experience to increase your Hit Dice, you gain 10 extra hit points, plus your Constitution modifier. In addition, your Base Saves increase!  This is a very valuable field for keeping your character in the adventuring business and avoiding an untimely demise. Certain Talents are locked behind the number of Hit Dice you possess, making this a valuable field in many ways. Every time you invest in your Hit Dice, your Base Saves increase accordingly.
