[QUOTE="Stalker0, post: 4265196, member: 5889"] Its a little bit more than that. Its +10 hitpoints, +2 hitpoints healed per healing surge, +5 to your bloodied total, and +5 more healing surges. Those secondary benefits are important, especially the fact that you heal more with your surges. But even so, the difference between con and int is while con may not be critical, it has a definite mechanical impact on every character, one everyone will notice. The difference may be small, but you will notice a difference. For many classes, int is just a waste of points. It boots skill you won't use, and does nothing better than dex. Heck, take a look at paragon feats and you'll realize even fighters need high dex, because there are a crazy number of fighterish feats that take high dex. Btw, I've only skimmed the thread, but I really like the idea of int adding a +1 to a number of skills equal to your int mod. A +1 to skills is still significant, and it at least throws in some use for int, even if its a minor one. [/QUOTE]
