Nov 24, 2015 · The difference between getting Tough at 1st level and 4th level is 6 hit points to help you actually get to level 4. In addition to that, you're looking at the difference between +1 attributes all around at level 1 and one extra feat, which can be pretty huge.

Apr 16, 2019 · It depends, Tough is generally worth more then a +2 in your constitution score, given how rare constitution checks are and a +1 to a single saving throw proficiency isn't that valuable, even for a primary save like constitution. Generally for a full spell caster, I don't consider any feats until I've maxed out my spell casting modifier.

Nov 26, 2021 · As much as I love a Tough Bearbarian (one of my first 5e chars). Over the years if I have a spare 13 in char creation I place it in Cha and just take Inspiring leader instead and is most of the time more optimal.

Especially at middle levels, tough can be the difference between your squishies lasting another round or getting knocked out. Personally, I have taken tough on a wizard and sorcerer, but didn't take it as my paladin or fighter as I found other feats …

Jul 7, 2020 · The Tough feat is great, nobody can deny it. There's almost never a downside to being more durable in the game, honestly, but I gotta wonder if there's a good or bad time to run it.

Jan 10, 2024 · I know that raising your Constitution modifier increases your maximum health. However, the Tough feat also does this, but gives twice as much health. What other benefits does a +2 to Con give, and ...

Aug 1, 2023 · Barbarian, +3 Con, Tough at Level 1 - HP at Level 8 = 101 Barbarian, +3 Con, Tough at Level 8 - HP at Level 8 = 101 (using average HP) The only difference is that you get a "bigger jump in HP" later on. If the second Barbarian doesn't take Tough at …
