[QUOTE="Christian, post: 3997156, member: 381"] I think looking at it in relative terms may be more beneficial to you than in absolute terms. This is a character class with d4 hit points, for an average of 2.5 hit points per level with a 10 Con, or 5.5 hit points per level with a 17 Con. That is huge! Barring toad familiars (eew!), Toughness feats, and Con-boosting items, you can expect at 11th level to have (on average) either 29 hit points, or 62. :eek: Believe me, 29 hit point won't last that long at that level. The 10 Con Wizard's only defense is to not get hit, and a couple points of Dex bonus to AC will not, in general, go very far towards preventing that. Con is an oft-undervalued stats for wizards. And it helps with Concentration checks, which help prevent damage almost as much as Dexterity does. [/QUOTE]
