[QUOTE="Doctor Proctor, post: 4687556, member: 78547"] Again though, this is not necessarily true. My STR/CON Dragonborn Fighter in Scale with a Heavy Shield can take the BRV feature and he will be exactly the same in every respect except that he will gain 3 THP when hit and will have an Attack Bonus one point lower. Furthermore, the +1 won't increase over time, but the THP will. Granted, that could be explained away as the +1 [B]always[/B] being useful versus the THP needing to increase in order to match the enemy's increase in damage, but it's still a rather steep tradeoff. While there is more reason to go with the STR/CON build due to the BRV feature, there are still reasons to use it without that feature. For Dragonborn, it's a very powerful combo because it allows you to do more damage with Dragonbreath and get some great bonuses out of the Inner Dragon Path and the other Dragonborn features like the +CON mod to surge value. Barring that though, there's still the Iron Vanguard PP, which adds CON damage to push/prone attacks. [/QUOTE]
