You're quite possibly right, and it makes me want to puke.

Tide of Iron
Attack: Fort vs. Reflex.
Hit: 4 + Fort damage, and the target creature is slid one square. Increase to 8 + Fort damage at 21st level.
Miss: No damage, and the target does not slide.

It needs to be even easier to figure out exactly how play goes at a glance. That way the whiners can say 'it plays differently than it looks' despite any and all evidence the contrary more.

Thing is, if you're talking 3.5 there everyone has high Con. And some even have low Str to go with it (see: Most rogues, all non gish casters).

I once rolled a 3 for CON, using the roll 4 dice and drop the lowest method.

Double snake eyes.

If nothing else having a 3 Con is amusing with d4 HD because once you start boosting your HP they become impossibly large for your HD & Con.

Minimum is 1 per HD anyways. Even if you got a 4, it would have made no difference. Lucky for you the DM didn't realize enemies can calmly saunter around them. Or you had real defenses.
