Mind over body feat giving too much hp maybe?
So I have a character with a base 5 hp and 14 Int with the mind over body feat. 14 Int is considered +2 so logically I should get 2 extra hp at first lv. Instead I am given 5 extra hp bringing my hp up to 10. Now, im not complaining, extra hp is always nice but I thought I would mention it anyway.

Was my old warlock, had -1 con so ended up with a base of 5 hp per lv. My new warlock corrected that mistake among many others.

To be honest, if that can bring any enticement to take the feat, then I don't see any reason to fix it.
The feat is rather lacklustre in my eyes, compared to Luck of Heroes or Spellcasting Prodigy that seems vastly more powerful.
But thank you for reporting it. I know it's appreciated by the Staff!

Not sure if it is even broken. The feat also gives you extra hp per spell casting and meta-magic feat you have and take BUT does not specify if that includes such feats you get at first lv by default. IF it takes base feats into account when calculating the hp bonus then the amount of bonus hp would indeed be much higher then +2. Pherhaps it is not broken at all... I simply do not know?
