Intoxicated seems to give a damage reduction of 1d6. This could be right, meaning that alcohol lessens the pain, but that much? Is this meant to be like that? Note that I would actually like this!

That's what it says in my packet. I liked this condition. One of the devs, Jeremy I think, also liked this too.

Seems like fair compensation for disadvantage on attacks and checks (every d20 roll).

Well, maybe you're all stupid-drunk and can't tell that you're hurt.

Plus, I think I've heard that drunk drivers often survive crashes where other drivers/passengers don't.  Maybe being drunk lets you "roll with it".

They don't tense up, which avoids bad whiplash and such.  Best advice if you are about to crash: go limp.

What I like the most is that it works very well for Defenders, and thus, in particular, the Mountain Dwarf Moradin Cleric is best used when drunk!

Time to load one keg of gut buster into the wagon, pronto. Blessed by Moradin first, o' course.

It will also be quite anti-economic to be a dwarf and be intoxicated all the time... Who knows how much gut buster you'd need, with the posion immunity and everything!

I think it's supposed to account for someone who's drunk to ignore pain, however I think it's a bit too powerful for my campain settings. My groups tend to play low level campagins, and I just know that my power gamers are going to start playing "drunken sword masters" and the like because it will allow them drastically reduce the damage they take.

Perhaps I'll modify it to -1d6 to subdual dmg, or allow them to operate up to -10 in health instead of dropping 0.

It's realistic to ignore pain while your drunk. It's unrealistic to say that an arrow that just pierced your belly didn't hurt you at all cause you were drunk.

HP is an abstaction as it is: you likely didn't take said arrow to the gut until you droped to 0hp or lower.
