I could go on with the others, but you get the idea). Its not like they become worthless because of a different strength.Having less Con means you have gained something in a different area. Con isn't exactly applied to a lot of skills either, so by opting for this background, you gain bonuses to skills you wouldn't have if you had taken Con. Essentially, you are getting the best of both worlds.You make a choice about healing surges and life when you select any stat besides Con as your secondary or primary. This is the same for any stat. You shouldn't be able to bypass a major component of your race/class/build choices with a *background*. Not having an unfair advantage at level 1 at doesn't make you gimp, just balanced.Opportunity costs exists.</blockquote>
