D&D 5E Wizard with 20 CON and the Durable feat

Screw the feat! I'm a freakin' Wizard with a 20 Con! Fear me!

Fortunately, our wizard maxed out his Int...

Thaumaturge.

Normally, a hit die roll for the 20 CON mage is 1d6 + 5, so the possible results are 6-11. With the feat, the total of the roll has a minimum of 10. So, the possible results are 10 or 11.

Yeah, after reading it three times I am pretty sure this is right.

While I agree on the interpretation, it really feels like there's an easier way to say that. Like... the minimum on your die roll when spending HD is your Con modifier.

Fear might be a plan, but I will probably try Dire Charm first.

Man, when I first read it, I thought this was for when you leveled up and gained hp, not regained during a short rest. That might be a wee bit too good, yes?

I have an 18 Int, too! And Dex and Wis! But my Str and Chr are only 16. That way you can tell it was rolled honestly.

I agree, the wording is odd.

It's a bit of an odd Feat all round tbh. Most things that give minimums of dice rolls give a re-roll, except the Rogues take a 10 power-thing.

There may be other modifiers to how many HP you regain. If, say, you were under a curse that meant you had a -2 modifier to how many HP you regain, that wizard would STILL regain 10 hit points.

It isn't actually a minimum on the die, it's a minimum on the total.

Cheers!

Use a dwarf. I hear they are the best spellcasters anyway.

I voted "No" because he gets 10 hp most of the time, and 11 hp one-sixth of the time, assuming no other mods are in play.

The feat sets a minimum on the total, not just the physical die roll, and nothing has changed the maximum, which in this case is 11.
