Title: bss's Toughness

# bss's Toughness
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The core Toughness feat seems to be a bit too weak, and I have yet to be at
|
||
|
|
a table where anyone has taken it. I think this improves it.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
> ### bss's Toughness
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
> ***Adventurer Tier:*** Increase your baseline hit points value by 1
|
||
|
|
> (i.e., a wizard with bss's Toughness has the hit points of a cleric).
|
||
|
|
> You cannot take both this feat and ordinary Toughness.

This feat makes the bonus hp increase linearly per level rather than non-linearly per tier, and
|
||
|
|
grants more bonus hp overall. For example, assuming a barbarian with no
|
||
|
|
CON mod (for simplicity):
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
*Toughness would grant 3 hp at level 1, for 14% (3/21) bonus hp, as would
|
||
|
|
bss's Toughness. At level 4, the Tough barbarian would have 7% (3/42) bonus hp,
|
||
|
|
but bss's Tough barbarian would still have 14% (6/42). At level 5, the
|
||
|
|
Tough barbarian has 12% (7/56) bonus hp, and bss's Tough barbarian remains at
|
||
|
|
14% (8/56) (and will throughout). At level 7, the vanilla Tough barbarian has
|
||
|
|
only an 8% (7/84) bonus, at level 8 the bonus is 12% (14/112), and at level 10
|
||
|
|
the bonus is back down to 8% (14/168).*
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This also benefits lower-hp classes more than tanks. (Classes with 8 base hp
|
||
|
|
very briefly get less hp from this feat, even.) Also, I think it's just easier to
|
||
|
|
grok.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You are free to still take the core Toughness feat if you'd like.
