[QUOTE="Dannyalcatraz, post: 6222715, member: 19675"] Could the feat have been mechanically better or better named? Sure. As to the Tom Cruise analogy, it isn't like the Feat is called "Toughest"- like height, toughness is all relative. If there were a Feat that called "Smarts" and gave you +2Int, it would be the same issue: it [I]improves[/I] the PC in that aspect, but it doesn't necessarily make him a genius. Or consider a black belt in martial arts. That denotes a certain level of training within the form. But not all black belts are equal, and it doesn't mean you're a badass street-fighter. One can earn a black belt and still be weak, slow, and fragile. As far as it being a good choice, yes, if it fits the PC narrative. If you're designing a PC and looking for some extra HP- for whatever reason- and can't afford to boost your Con score, Toughness is the perfect choice. But why don't we end this tangent in this thread and get back to WotC vs Paizo. Maybe we can discuss it in its own 30 page thread. [/QUOTE]
