[QUOTE="Lanefan, post: 7361036, member: 29398"] Nothing stops you from playing as though you're the toughest hombre in the land; and for all we know maybe you were all your life until you met these other guys you're adventuring with. Good, you've identified the source of the problem. You left out the word 'mechanical' between 'no' and 'difference'. But mechanics aren't everything. You're not using the feat to create the concept, you're using the feat to mechanically back up a concept you already had. There's other ways to achieve much the same ends - though admittedly not right off the hop at 1st level - the most obvious of which is to throw all your resources and treasury shares into improving your AC (at cost of improving your damage output) via better armour, defensive magics, and so forth. EDIT TO ADD: It just occurred to me to ask: what would you have done if one of more of the other three heavyweights in that party had also happened to take the same toughening feat(s) as you did - would that also invalidate your concept?
