Feat question - Cha mod instead of Con mod for bonus hp?

[Angel Tarragon]

I am curious to know if there is a feat that allows you to gain bonus hit points from your Charisma modifier instead of your Constitution modifier.

Additionally I'd like to know if it would unbalancing for there to be a feat where you could add your Charisma modifier to your Constitution modifier for determining bonus hp?

As a one shoy deal? No, no problem. It would be a one shot deal (like toughness) but gives the sorcerer and paladin a bigger boost. Sure.

It seems like I remember hearing about a feat like this in Libris Mortis. I don't have the book or I could say for sure. "Unholy Toughness" maybe? I think that the only prerequisite is that the character be undead, but a liberal DM might let you spend the feat now, banking on dying and being animated at some point in the future.

Edit: I think that the feat Sadrik describes might also exist already, too, though I believe it's only available at first level.

Sounds like a decent Toughness replacement -- add any single stat bonus to your HP. It would work once, and be in addition to what your Con provides. You may take the Feat multiple times, and its effects stack.

Good for any class, in that case. Well, good compared to Toughness.

excepot that's not what he's saying. He said a feat to have Cha bonus replace con bonus for hit points. I'd not allow it, not have I thankfully seen one. Taking powers from abilities and given them to other abilities is not a good idea.

Mind over Matter from Player's Guide to Faerun allows you to add either Int or Cha instead of Con at first level, plus gives you 1 hp everytime a metamagic feat is gained.

Ah, thanks. Yeah, no way would I allow that. But I do like the feat I came up with...

Yay personal appearance to increase hitpoints. Super models with that feat would be invincible... or well now they.. ehm.. just.. fall or die if you poke them..

sure you could make a feat or classfeature to do it, and it wouldn't be that imbalanced.. or well.. i would make it at least Epic.. (20 cha = 5x improved toughness feat, imagine what 30 Cha is then)
