How many fighters don't use swords? Also it is only 1 point of damage - not really effective, considering that against someone with a strength bonus will never fail to do damage. But how about changing the DR type to "-"? This results in +0.2 CR per point.   Like I've already stated, you have to use all of the abilities to achieve a +1 CR, so if you use my suggestion, then you need only up something else.   I would rule, that Toughness gives 1hp/level, otherwise it is too weak. Maybe Strong Roots could function the same, but backwards? I would use a higher DR rating. The warforged has, AFAIK, also a DR, so it wouldn't be that unusual.</blockquote>
