'Forgot about the option that it's another PC, but honestly -- I don't like that approach either.
But anyway, I agree that it doesn't feel like an actual game that was transcribed, but it does remind me of that core idea.

@Boomburst I was basing it on 5th Edition, but didn't see that he was a wizard so my math was wrong. A wizard starts with 6 HP, he has 5 CON so -3 which leaves us with 3HP max. I am assuming his max HP will be 1 throughout the whole manga which can only happen if he got 1 CON and didn't level or somehow wouldn't gain HP with level ups. Also the character sheet looks like 5th edition but I could be wrong.
This is why you don't mimic a system unless you follow the rules to the fullest extended in a "static" story.

Since the book reflects the world and we know that altering it is possible (the beginning where they wrote in his stats) couldnt he alter his stats or better yet put his sister and his location to be exact the same. Isekai main mission finished in like few seconds ^^.

This shouldn’t be too bad for him. In most games I’ve played based on this system, there are usually several work arounds:
Respec
Certain level ups that allow you to invest in stats
Very rare quest rewards that give a permanent stat boost
Equipment that can compensate for weakened stats
Temp buffs from spells and potions

Of course, our MC tried to strike up a conversation with a goblin horde, so these solutions might elude him fo a while

Never played a game of DnD so I don't really care how accurate or not it is to it.
I mean the rules could be based on them but modified in a way that suits the plot, I mean if 1 HP meant that literally anything will kill him, the fall would have still killed him regardless if it his broke him, IIRC there have been real life cases of parachute malfunctions in free falling and the person still managing to survive by having their fall broken but even then they don't get off easily. So I'm guessing 1 HP is already more than an average real life human.

if the book tells you her exact location then why were you searching through a dungeon for her last chapter? did her status just say "in a dungeon"? aren't the dungeons named?

Guess it was something like "critical luck" roll so he avoided damage

+No idea how Armor Points work, maybe they are added to HP

I'm only at the part where he eats the apple, but this is great how it's using the D&D stuff. xD Also he stole the DM's D&D guide books rolled all into one.

@boogle : and 5th is pretty much the only edition where they left out the min 1 HP per level up rule (have not checked the errata to see if it has been corrected).

EDIT : the min 1 per level is in the errata file, almost guranteed to have been an oversight that was intended to be there all along.

Even if your armor class is ridiculous enough so you never get hit, most magic would still 1-hit kill him even with a successful saving throw

@owyn Depends on what edition they're playing. But more or less AC is the difficulty check that attack rolls have to beat (Outside of magic) in order to HIT.

I.E. AC (Armor class) = 22 So the enemy has to beat 22 with their attack roll
(Base attack bonus + modifiers) 6 + 1d20 = 22 =< # then they roll for damage and being 1 HP he's likely knocked unconscious, or if he's unlucky straight dead.

So in either case, he has 1 HP with a con modifier of -3, as a wizard who has at most a 4 HP roll he'll never be more then 20 hp without gear / buffs. So let's put it like this. A single punch on the hand is enough to K.O him.

Why do I feel that his sister is a brainwashed asshole now? Like a religious zealot or something...

D&D is an American designed tabletop, which this manga is based on, 5th edition specifically from what I see of the stat sheet... As such, it uses the Imperial system instead of metric, with weight measured in lbs and length in ft.

Edit: By the way, if we go by this he really should get Shield sooner rather than later, a single magic missile will do him in without any augmentations until he reaches a minimum of level 7.

Edited several more times for clarity.

Could be anything other than D&D for all we know this guy is playing Runescape ironman as a pure
