The Man in Black falls to the ground, and rapidly expires.

Make them equal to Con. Only by taking the appropriate Feat (learning the right skill) and improving Con. can the character get more hit points. Instead, he becomes harder to hit, since his defense improves along with everything else. It's a rare problem that doesn't have a fix.For instance. I have a big problem with the d20 System's Feats. The typical Feat is about as extraordinary an accomplishment as getting dressed in the morning. So I'm going to change them into skills for my Alan's Very Own Version of the d20 SRD along with a few other modifications. (An example on its way to the House Rules forum someday.)The trick is not to say, "This can't be done." The trick is to find a way to make it work.</blockquote>
