Thrill kill poison

It will grants you alchemical +3d4 con and +3d4 strenght as primary effect. Secondary effect is death on a failed fortitude save dc 15. 600gp

There is a psionic power that gives you a bucket load of temporary HP - it's available to psionic warriors. How about giving him an item that can do that, perehaps only usable by fighters....

Assume that instead of average HP you got maximum HP instead (that's a 0 cr adjustment as the CR is based on HD not HP)

Give him an item that lets him do vampiric touch. Give him a creature with regeneration or fast healing in a cage to use the vamp touch on.

Multiple Improved Toughness feats do stack.

False Life or Potions of False life or some other magic item of false life.

Are there feats that increase your Hit Points? - besides Toughness and Imp. Toughness

Are there any Magic items (for a fighter) that would increase HP? - besides raising Con with Amulet of Health.


Any Wotc or Malhavoc source is ok.

Thanks in advance

Try this feat:

WON'T GO DOWN SO EASILY [General]
You don't go down so easily.
Benefit: Your hit points double.
Special: This feat may be taken by BBEG as a bonus feat, if the DM so desires.
This feat may never be taken by a PC. Ever.

In Magic of Incarnum, there is a feat- Incarnum Reinforced Body or some such- that grants bonus HP for each Incarnum feat the PC has.

There is also an Incarnum feat that grants temporary HP equal to the amount of essentia infused into the feat, and (as I recall) another that lets you heal yourself.

Though not technically increasing HP, the Spellfire feat allows healing with absorbed magic, effectively resulting in more HP. The Spellfire Wielder PrCl increases the efficacy of that ability by improving the ability to absorb & store that magic.

A couple of thoughts...

1. Give him 'Sadism' in a ring or part of his weapon. Won't boost hit points but it will make him vicious in melee. Sadism is in BoVD.

2. Give him a Vampiric Ring of Regeneration. It's a 1E magic item and I don't know if anybody did one for 3.x, but basically whenever he hits somebody the hitpoints of damage he does to the PCs or others is transmitted to him as temp hit points.

3. Give him 1 & 2.

Thanks,
Rich

Have contingency Cure spells cast on him, or give him a ring of nine lives.

There's Epic Toughness, where you gain 1 HP per HD. That can really add up, if you've got fifteen or so HD.

I looked up Virtue the psionic power - each psi point in it gives 5hp. It can be made into a tatto (1st to 3rd), and than can have a caster level of 20. that's 100 temp HP, needing 1 action to activate. A person can have 20 psionic tattoes.
