How high can YOU get your HP?

[Darkness]

diaglo - You get access to epic feats at 21st, rather than 20th. Epic Toughness adds +20 hp each time it is taken.

IIRC, +30 since Complete Warrior.

How much does being half-celestial cost you, in terms of levels?

4 levels.

There's an Ioun Stone that gives +2Con

IIRC, +30 since Complete Warrior.

Oh hey, would ya look at that - you are correct, sir. I completely missed that one. Thanks ^_^

Yep, Epic Toughness is +30 now like Darkness said.


MrFilthyIke - +2 enhancement at that.

So what's our total then using the standard PHB races and classes and a starting CON roll of 18 (unmodified) with only the magical items in the DMG?

1st level: Dwarf, barbarian, Con 20: # feats?
10th level? Ability increases, items?
20th level? Ability increases, items?

If we're just going for HP, don't forget the forsaker.

Add all the +10 bonuses into CON. (some pepople claim that you can only add five into con because its an "inherent" bonus, but that's a tad silly.)

That gives con of (assuming starting 20):
20+10+5 (from every-five level increases) ... for a con of 35.

Now, since you've forsook magic, you may as well forsake all material posessions. Get the Vow of Poverty feat from Book of Exhalted Deeds, and can add +8. That gives a con of of 43.

At 20th level, that's 400 HP just from con. Add in the 20d12, assume average die rolls, and you get an average con of:
400+12+123.5, or 535.5 HP.

Add in the toughness feats and it just gets stupid. Will it break 600 on average?

::edit:: Apparently its 65 HP from the Toughness feats over 20 levels ... So yes, it'll break 600. Just barely. And if you max on all those dice (as if, but just for record keeping), you'd have about 710 HP. Isn't that stupid-high?

And, i do believe, its all legal.

Second Edit: I forgot all about rage. With 9 levels of barb, that's only a +4 to con. Which means um ... another 20 HP. So make that 730 HP w/maxed hit dice. And 505 before hit dice.

Is that all right? Who thinks that's incredibly cheesy?

. 618 with old Toughness, 645 with MotW Toughnesses.

3.5e core rules only, PHB standard races classes. No MotW, no CW, etc as requested by MerakSpielman:

Dwarf Barbarian 20.

Constitution 18 (base) +2 (race) +5 (levels) +5 (manual of bodily health) +6 (amulet of health) +8 (mighty rage) = 44

Charisma 18 (base) -2 (race) + 4 (tome of leadership and influence) + 6 (cloak of charisma) = 26

Use Magic Device +11 (ranks, cross-class from 23 points) + 8 (Charisma) = +19

May activate a Staff of Righteous Might (Use Magic Device DC 20) with no chance of failure. Righteous Might gives a +4 size bonus to Constitution for a grand total of 48.

Hit Points:
Class = 12 x 20 = 240
Constitution = 19 x 20 = 380
Toughness = 7 x 3 = 21

Grand Total = 641.

BTW, I'll slide this over to Rules...
