[QUOTE="mlund, post: 4564777, member: 50304"] A "standard non-battlerager build with con 14+" is going to either be an 18 STR fighter with 14 CON or a 16 STR, 16 CON Dwarf with a decent Wisdom. Starting out he's going to generate an extra 2-3 Temp HPs when he gets hit by an enemy and he's going to miss 10% more frequently against enemies that a fighter would normally need an 11 to hit. If he goes Hammer over Sword too he's going to miss 20% more frequently. As he levels up and takes feats his quantity of Temp HPs is going to scale up, but he's also going to be relying on more Encounter Powers and Daily Powers in fights - and that 10 or 20% reduction in hitting is going to hurt a lot. It'll be even worse against higher AC monsters, though less noticable against easy targets. He actually exchanges a significant amount of efficiency in exchange for a significant amount of damage reduction. It may not be a bad deal, but it doesn't appear to be broken. [/QUOTE]
