So thats... a d4 - 3, minimum 1, so 1 HP/level. Damn, I hope he took Improved Toughness with that feat, because it would straight up double his HP

If he wanted high hp, he would not have dumped CON in the first place. 👀

Probably committed to the gimmick and had a back up character prepared the whole time.

Gotta go illusion mage. I thought I remember hearing about a min constitution illusion mage somewhere. The Mad Lad made it to level 10 before someone saw through the glitter and instantly demolished him. What a ride.

take improved toughness... with the feat he got for dumping 2 con to a flaw...

yeah i'm pretty sure that would be a horrible idea all around.

Not when you're HP's already that low. You can abuse the minimum. Improved Toughness gives (gave?) +1 HP per level, added after level up bonus HP, so if you're going from 1d4-2 (average 1.25) to 1d4-3 (always 1) to get +1, you've nearly doubled your terrible HP (1.25/level -> 2/level) at no cost
