Stelliferas Question

[Torgrin Deepsmith]

I'm curious about the +2 HP, is that just one time, you use hydroform and you get +2 HP, or is it supposed to be an enhancement like +2 per level, since they are normally a +2 HP race, but most other medium races (hydroform) are +4 minimum, it seems to make sense it could be +2 per level, but just wondering if any developers can address that.

Thanks

It's just 2, an extra 2 hp per level would be seriously overpowered for a race: it would be like having toughness twice.

You could also phrase their hydrobody ability as a negative, assuming they have it active and describing what they lose when it's not (which also plays nicer with character creation ability generation...).

Looking at it that way, stelliferas are a 4 HP race with no Strength adjustment, but lose 2 HP and 4 Strength when they don't have hydrobody active.
Racial HP aren't per level. You just get them the once.

Ok thanks, definitely makes for a squishy character, I guess could even out the Con to 10 (getting rid of the -2) It's just rough in this game, armor doesn't prevent a lot of hits, so resistances/DR are the best bet, but the -2 Con and low starting HP is going to make this tricky.

It’s only a single -2 HP, which isn’t much, and only effects you if you don’t use the water body, and really, why wouldn’t you use the water body?
