Should be playing D&D instead
I am very certain that it was always intended that you roll one additional Hit Dice every time you level up, but you regularly find people mentioning the alternative interpretation that you instead roll all your Hit Dice and the new result is your new hit points. Then there's also the further addition that you only use the newly rolled number if it is higher than your old one, so that you can't end up with less hp after gaining a level.
Now I am wondering if this actually makes any difference, one way or another for the average in either direction? Does it affect how much hp characters have on average at all?
