Benefit: Increase your Constitution score by 1, to a maximum of 20. In addition, when determining your Instant Death Threshold, add your Proficiency Bonus to your total Constitution score.
Instant Death Threshold: Instant death in the "Wizards & Trenches" setting occurs if a character takes enough damage within a single round to reduce their hit points to a negative value equal to or exceeding their total Constitution score.

Standard: A Level 3 character with 27 HP and 12 CON takes 27 damage and drops to 0 HP, requiring them to make death saving throws. If that same character (at full health) takes 39 damage in a single round, their hit points reach -12 (their threshold), killing them instantly.

With This Feat: That character's Constitution increases to 13, and they add their +2 Proficiency Bonus to their threshold, making their new instant death threshold -15. That character would now require 42 damage in a single round (27 + 15) to be killed outright.
