D20:Constitution Term
[top]Constitution (Con)
Constitution represents your character?s health and stamina. A Constitution bonus increases a character?s hit points, so the ability is important for all classes.
You apply your character?s Constitution modifier to:
If a character?s Constitution score changes enough to alter his or her Constitution modifier, the character?s hit points also increase or decrease accordingly.
Any living creature has at least 1 point of Constitution. A creature with no Constitution has no body or no metabolism. It is immune to any effect that requires a Fortitude save unless the effect works on objects or is harmless. The creature is also immune to ability damage, ability drain, and energy drain, and automatically fails Constitution checks. A creature with no Constitution cannot tire and thus can run indefinitely without tiring (unless the creature?s description says it cannot run).
