[MotW] WotC back to its old tricks

yeah, I think door-smashing-guest-eating-monster is reading to deep.

con changes for species/race do not affect hp, fine. But when a character is affected by rage it gains temporary hp (therefore the druids permanent hp are not changed).

When you change into -whatever- you do not benefit or suffer from a constitution change due to race. Rage is something completely different.

I think the most math free solution, for my campaign, will be to leave the original CON score and change only STR and DEX (only because CON affects hps and saves), this will eliminate any rules descrepancies regarding a CON adjust that affects saves but not hps.

I'm not confident that is a good solution. If you follow what they have said is the rule, there is no discrepancy in the first place, only a possible misinterpretation, which you have now moved beyond. By taking it even further, and changing the rule based on the perception that it would be easier to do that than do the math or explain it as written to anyone else who misinterprets it, you are disallowing the possibility that they have playtested it as written and have properly balanced it as written with other rules.

I'd urge you to try it out as written, play with it for a while, and only change it if it proves to be broken beyond playability.

Just my two cents...
