[QUOTE="Herbalizer, post: 6840739, member: 6824144"] I was comparing to the CON=12 vs CON=15...For the first 5 levels, the CON=15 has +2 while CON=12 has +1, hence 5HP differential ...Then when I'd get the resilient feat at 5th, CON=16 would get +3, while CON=13 would still only have +1 ..hence the difference is 2HP per level for 5 levels (10) .Therefore 5+10 = 15 Yes, the concept I initially wanted was a skill monkey caster. I can replace a thief, which we don't have, and offer support (healing/buffs/offence/whatever we need). With another melee character, I would stay in the back, buff, debuff, heal and do crown control ...But because we are only 3, I know I'll be a target ...We can't have the Barbarian get surrounded while the Sorcerer and Bard stay behind because he'll get overwhelmed.
