Did anyone else notice...

...undead now have con scores?

Interesting change- the animus must hold the con score.

I dunno. Doesn't constitution represent the ability to withstand damage? They're dead and slightly decayed, but they're still holding together. In fact, a well-preserved corpse can be darn tough. Like jerky (only not tasty).

Constitution represents a many factors. I understand their reasoning for not including con scores in 3.5, but I'm glad they gave everything all scores. Makes things so much more simple, plus it's easy to give reasons why objects and undead of scores.

 

[small pumpkin man]

I seem to remember somebody stating all creatures had con scores, and that even some objects did.

 

[Li Shenron]

I suppose that now to be fair, everyone should have a Con and an Int, and all others.

 

[Fallen Seraph]

Con makes sense to me, including for objects since it sorta works into the idea of how much it can take, like durability.

 

[helium3]

Eh. I would have been just as happy (probably even happier) if they had Charisma function as Constitution for Undead. Still, having a Con score of some sort does make things simpler in some respects.

 

[Fallen Seraph]

May I ask why Charisma? I can't see how force of character (through various means) would mean the same as Con.

I dunno. Doesn't constitution represent the ability to withstand damage?

No. So far at least, that was Hit Points. Constitution used to affect the ability to withstand damage, but was more broad than that.

I have always viewed Constitution as one's physical willpower/endurance, your physical ability to keep going after everything is thrown at you.
