(By level 10, a fighter can be Con 20, 134 HP... if he goes for maximum HP. Starts at Con 16, takes +2 con each at 4th & 6th, Tough at 8th...  so at 8th, 8(6+4+2)+4=(8*12)+4=100HP at 8th level... but he's still, at 8th, using a weapon that does d8+2 or d10+2, and rolling to hit with a +7 or +5 and some other benefit (fighting style).</blockquote>
