One of my VERY Experienced players made a character (stats rolled using Adventure League Set) and he made the 8 (-1) in Con....
As an alternative solution, since that would be too easy, I recommend removing +Con from HP-per-level and apply the full Con score as a temporary HP shield that renews with each short rest. The difference between a 6hp shield and a 16hp shield is less extreme than the difference of 5hp per level, but it should be enough for the melee-types to appreciate the difference, while preventing it from being such a decisive factor in boss fights.
Thanks! I'm actually re-translating that concept back out from my homebrew, 5E-inspired game (Gishes & Goblins, if you want to check it out on DriveThruRPG).Interesting idea!

I bet it wasn't a paladin or barbarian!
It actually was a Barbarian....his backstory says that he has been sick as a child and the "Rage" ability allows him to help fight it...as he levels up he plans to increase it at the different milestones (4, 8, 12 etc.)
Rage, rage against the dying of the light...
I guess William Blake was talking about barbarians. I’m going to start reading all his poetry in terms of D&D now.
I might have to use that in my classroom now! LOL
