[QUOTE="eriktheguy, post: 5160692, member: 83662"] I was thinking along that lines. If you want it to scale with tier, you could simply say +2 temp hp per point of enhancement modifier. This scales decently well with monster damage. It is enough to prevent about 2 minion hits or 1 standard skirmisher attack. I certainly wouldn't let them recover this with a short rest, preventing that much damage every encounter is better than most feats. Even if it only recovers with an extended rest, the idea seems a little off to me. Heavy armor is designed to be balanced with light armor, and as far as I know that balance is pretty tight. There are plenty of armor specialization feats that allow players to feel special in their armor. There are also lots of armor enchantments that are specific to a type of armor, and these are available to the characters as drops as early as level 1. Check out armor of dwarven vigor, heartening armor, or lifegiving armor. Drop one of these for your player's and they will be feeling tough in their heavy armor.
