Our first level Dwarven BRV with a 16 CON soaked up 88 temporary hit points in the BBEG fight last night. About 18 of that was invigorating.
So, ~70 points of damage from BRV.
That's the equivalent of giving the hit points of a 13th level Fighter to a 1st level PC. That's the equivalent of 5 Healing Words (from an 18 Wis Cleric) without using up a single Healing Surge or a single minor action.
Toughness gives 5 hit points. If Toughness gave even half of this many hit points (35) at first level, people would be screaming about lack of balance and how every PC would take Toughness.
And this is with a 16 CON. An 18 CON Dwarf would have stopped more.
Any idea how many temp hp it would have been if my "fix" was applied (only get BRV temps from marked enemies)?
