[QUOTE="ChampionoftheTriad, post: 4531271, member: 17710"] Hey Kerrick, Yeah, I have used Cha in place of Con for undead for quite awhile. More recently, I've thought of using Str instead of Con for mindless undead or maybe corporeal undead, while incorporeal use Cha. Anyway, you got my vote. In truth though, if you're actually re-examining rules like this, the question is: Why not just USE Con for undead? That is, why not give them all Con scores. If you subscribe to the abstract function of hit points, AND you subcribe to the function of Con mod affecting those hp because of the "toughness" of the creature, then WHY don't the undead use it? It seems to me that the "dash" Con score, while clever and "realistic", is more trouble than its worth. The logic really has no place in such an abstract system. [/QUOTE]
