Hit points for 1st level characters, how do you run it and what is your philosophy surrounding how you run it? Also please explain your answer, especially the last two options.

I start everyone at Max Hit Points for 1st Level. That lowers the odds of one hit is an auto kill.

Bitd, we only rolled hit points for each level. We've had a 3rd level fighting man with 3 Hit Points (not that is luck (to survive) and good play, but also really bad luck on that particular roll. The most recent campaigns I have run, I give max hit points at 1st level. Yeah, I am getting soft in my old age. I like the other option, where maybe you give everyone a minimum 2 hit points and they get to roll to see if they can beat it.

I give 1st level 3 HPs and then they roll to see if they can beat it.

I like the risk of possibly very low HP, but on PbP, I would find it hard to manage frequent character death.
With a willing ref I'd be happy to burn through a couple characters in a face-to-face session.
I yearn for the early days (that I never saw) with the one-on-one sessions...
