I'm planning on playing a Human Wrathful Invoker of Kord, with an interesting little trait. He is physically tough, but not strong at all. 17 Con, [8-10] Str. I was wondering what a person with stats like that would look like. I'm quite confused. Any advice?

I'm seeing a tenacious person here. One who isn't necessarily physically imposing, but just keeps getting up. Sort of like a martial artist, but without the ability to hit you back with any sort of stopping power.

Game Quote of the Week: Me: "That seems like a great idea for a character, I'm still thinking about what I want to make." Friend: "You've had your character made for the last 15 years, your going to make a dwarf ranger." Me: "I was thinking about some kind of warrior that uses nature magic, maybe a race with a close connection to earth and stone."
Friend: *shakes his head*

I've made this sort of character before! Except... mine was an Infernal Warlock. It's the same basic deal, though. Maybe your character, like mine, is literally supernaturally tough. That is, he was average or below average in that regard until he made his pact/covenant, at which point he became the ultra-tough guy he is now. Granted, that might make more sense with regards to the Hell'lock who attacks with that Con score, but it could fit, right?

I always imagined a guy that had a large (hard, not soft) gut and was generally large. Not super strong, but tough to put down. The 'hard headed' biker guy.

Take your pick:  
Both (Rasputin and Socrates) said to have superhuman constitutions.
Through the ages, many would wonder "Does art imitate life or does life imitate art?"
I wonder "Does the art of discourse on the internet imitate the art of discourse in life or does the art of discourse in life imitate the art of discourse on the internet?"

I don't think they're ideal "Constitution" models considering both died prematurely from murder/poison. 
Either had low HP/surges and/or failed their saves.

From what I read of Rasputin he was killed by a headshot. Yay crits. Interesting indeed. I like the suggestions! I'm not entirely sure what he's going to look like yet. I do rather like the idea of the Covenant granting him health...

Rasputin was supposedly poisoned, then shot, and then stabbed. Then, since they thought he couldn't die, they threw his body in a river weighted down with stones. And if you believe in the disney version, he made a pact with the devil and came back to life. Seems to mee like he had a LOT of hp and saved at least twice. also, his toughness would definitely be supernatural, in game terms. For a high Con and low Str guy, I think of a boxer with a chin of granite, but low punching power. He might be that great boxer that sticks and moves, and can't be knocked out, but can't punch hard enough for the one punch knockout. 8-10 is average strength, so he can punch, just not hard. he'd wear you down and absorb everything you threw at him until you were too tired to fight anymore.

for the most part, I always imagine a guy with lots of hp but no mucsel being something of a fatty, but not one that gets windeded easily. Someone who is bigger than a normal person, but unusally physically fit.
I'd get along more with people if they didn't jump onto a hyberbole every single time you say something they don't understand.
