Last night there was some talk about tats for BD's. A question arose though; my alliance-mate insists that the effect of a +3 dex -3 con and +3 str -3 con tats have different effects on hp. Anyone have experience for this? Sounded strange to me, but I don't have any evidence one way or the other.
I would say that -3 con has always the same effect on a char, no matter if it is +dex or +str. I have both kinds of tattoos (just +4, not +3) and I lost the same amount of con for each of them.
It is of course a different story of you compare a +3 dex -3 con on a dark elf with a +3 str -3 con on a human. That is probably what led your mate to that conclusion.
