He got hit with a spear by an orc chieftain (unusually large - almost as tall as a man - but no Troll) which - since his Mithril shirt held - smashed him against the wall, knocking him out but doing no lasting damage other than some nasty scrapes and bruises.The other members of the Fellowship were amazed at his toughness... until Aragorn insisted on treating his wounds and everyone saw he was wearing armor that was worth as much as a small country.And for what it's worth, the quote you're referring to is actually something like "...soft as butter…and yet sometimes as tough as old tree-roots." It really doesn't suggest, to me, the sort of everyday toughness that'd be granted by higher Con.IMO, the Hobbits are, first and foremost, about the strength of spirit, and mind over matter... Which is why I would be inclined - like I suggested before - to give them Str and Con penalties, a Wis bonus, and give them both a bonus on saves and the ability to use their Wis bonus on Fort saves and Con checks.</blockquote>
