What I left out was the skill benefits of an ASI. I think the numbers probably end up about right - but like I said, this is hardly scientific, because so much of it is going to be dependent on table variation.Con is in a different boat, because it is not an attack stat for any class, and almost never contributes to an action from a player, instead serving a passive and defensive role. It's not possible to 'use' your constitution  to reduce the damage you take, so it's not possible to make it's rolls anywhere near as common as those of other stats. If you want to compare it to a feat, you'll need to work out an equivalence for how many hit points an encounter drains you of and work backwards to how many extra encounters that allows your party to survive. My guess is that the equivalence more-or-less holds.</blockquote>
