Constitution

[Eltern]

Other than HP, fortitude saves, and concentration checks (only really useful to spell casters), what CAN Constitution affect? Looking for crazy feats/skills/prestige classes that allow you to get more bang out of a high constitution.

I don't know of any, really. I think I saw a feat somewhere that allowed you to make a Fort save instead of Ref for spells (I sit and take the fireball, I'm not dodging, you pansy)

In Complete Warrior, the Kensai can make a concentration check (I think it's a limited number of times per day) instead of ref saves to avoid damage.

Also in CW, the abilities of the Stonelord use con as the key attribute to set DC's. (for the Hold Monster and Slow Sp abilities)

Con is already pretty cool as it is. Add it to swim checks (make the high Con PC swim 100 yards underwater) and running, and pretty soon you have a PC that can outdistance others in a footrace. Granted, D&D is not the best system to use when conducting a chase scene, but it is certainly something to think about when the NPCs can't run as long or as far as the PC, especially out in the open. Other Con stuff to consider is subdual damage rules, encumberance (again, can carry more for longer) and negative HP. Take the feat that allows you to take a partial action each round when you are in the negatives and it becomes a new range of HP you can use before seeking help. Keep plenty of healing potions around, and you can quaff them as a partial action to put you right back in the fight.

That Kensai ability does not have limited uses per day. Another Kensai ability allows you to boost your Str by +8 for 1/2 class level rounds with a concentration check DC 15 +5 per additional successful use in a 24 hour period.

Many monster abilities DCs are based on Con. Also Psions (Savants) can use Con as thier primary casting ability.

Don't forget the rules for holding your breath and running.
