Want the "con guy" to shine? Rope the party into a drinking contest, have obstacles in the environment that call for con checks (cold/hot weather, swimming long times, mold/poisons that call for con saves), or have enemies use poisons. My party's barbarian favors con over strength because she likes playing a character who is described as always drinking people under the table. She starts each combat chugging strong dwarven ale and laughs if she bombs a con save and I rule that she spends the first round puking her guts out. It even caused a fight when she rolled a 2 on the save and spooked a caterblepas. Now, is it problematic that other classes dont have a lot of reasons to have a high con mechanically? Perhaps. Personally I still find myself shooting for a min con of 14 with almost every character. One should not underestimate its roll in short rest healing when the inevitable 1 or 2 rolls on your healing dice and you'll be glad you've a few points in con.</blockquote>
