Jan 03, 2010 16:44:17 I am making a new character and want to deck him out with massive hp. I was made aware of the feats heart of the mountain (+2 hp per level) and blood of the dragon( max hp gained each level) recently, but do not know what book they are from. If anyone knows the book or equivalents feat with a different name, then please post it here. Thanks in advance for any help.

either that or 3rd party -- they look like they're from AEG's Feats, the most hideously broken book ever published (and I'll be back in a couple of days to add my list -- gotta go to work, and will be way busy tomorrow).

Jan 03, 2010 22:20:40 Yeah I found heart of the mountain in aeg, but cannot find blood of the dragon. Let me know if you can think of any book it might be in.

Jan 04, 2010 11:12:38 Those feats look quite overpowered compared to official D&D feats... Compare them to Improved Toughness, which grants +1 HP/level.

Boosting Con is another good way to boost hit points. A dragonborn mongrelfolk would have a +6 racial con bonus, and no level adjustment.

Add mineral warrior for more Con and DR 8/adamantine for +1 LA.

What is the highest achievable hp by level 20 I wonder (naturally barring infinite loops)? Core only (PHB and DMG) the highest would be Dwarf/Gnome (either) Barbarian 9/Sorcerer 1 (Toad familiar)/Dragon Disciple 10 with Toughness as every feat. This ends up with 19d12+1d4+304 hp with an average of 435 (475 when raging), but I know that's nowhere near maximum possible. The ironic thing is, the higher your Con score, the more painful each HD lost to LA for increasing it is.

Jan 04, 2010 18:20:47 I imagine a Walker in the Waste (Sandstorm) with Necrotic Empowerment (Libris Mortis) cast, created with Corpsecrafter (LM) within an area of Desecrate might top the cake. That's at least 500 right there, nevermind other buffs you toss up.
