putting point in CON , i guess is good for making up for losing half of the HP when choosing the glass cannon talent, but how does the AP work out? Does it render SPE and PER useless? Since the AP regenerates each turn with glass cancon, the only normal thing to do would be to get the starting AP as high as possible, by keep pouring points into CON?

Calculated by (Speed*0.5)+(Perc*0.5)+Base rounded down to the nearest whole number.

For instance I have 11 Speed and 10 Perc and a Base of 2. Therefore I have 12 total starting AP

Turn Action Points = number you gain in turns after your initial turn.

Calculated by (Speed*0.5)+base

I believe this is the number displayed on the character sheet as AP.


Summary
Constitution affects max potential AP on a given turn.
Perc affects AP you'll start a given battle with.
Speed affects starting and regular turn AP.



Glass Cannon multiplies the AP regen by 2, so speed is not a waste.
Just make sure that your Max potential AP is as high as your AP regen by increasing constitution as well.

-50% HP is doesn't mean losing half your HP, as stupid as that might sound.
The -50% penalty is added to all the other modifiers you might have, which are Picture of Health, Lone Wolf and the difficulty modifier. The difficulty modifier is +60% on easy, +15% on normal and -25% on hard.

So without other talents, Glass Cannon would change the HP like this
easy no PoH, no LW: 160 -> 110 = -31%
easy PoH 2, no LW: 170 -> 120 = -29%
easy PoH 3, no LW: 175 -> 125 = -29%
easy PoH 4, no LW: 180 -> 130 = -28%
easy PoH 5, no LW: 185 -> 135 = -27%

easy no PoH, LW: 230 -> 180 = -22%
easy PoH 2, LW: 240 -> 190 = -21%
easy PoH 3, LW: 245 -> 195 = -20%
easy PoH 4, LW: 250 -> 200 = -20%
easy PoH 5, LW: 255 -> 205 = -20%

normal no PoH, no LW: 115 -> 65 = -43%
normal PoH 2, no LW: 125 -> 75 = -40%
normal PoH 3, no LW: 130 -> 80 = -38%
normal PoH 4, no LW: 135 -> 85 = -37%
normal PoH 5, no LW: 140 -> 90 = -36%

normal no PoH, LW: 185 -> 135 = -27%
normal PoH 2, LW: 195 -> 145 = -26%
normal PoH 3, LW: 200 -> 150 = -25%
normal PoH 4, LW: 205 -> 155 = -24%
normal PoH 5, LW: 210 -> 160 = -24%

hard no PoH, no LW: 75 -> 25 = -67%
hard PoH 2, no LW: 85 -> 35 = -59%
hard PoH 3, no LW: 90 -> 40 = -56%
hard PoH 4, no LW: 95 -> 45 = -53%
hard PoH 5, no LW: 100 -> 50 = -50%

hard no PoH, LW: 145 -> 95 = -34%
hard PoH 2, LW: 155 -> 105 = -32%
hard PoH 3, LW: 160 -> 110 = -31%
hard PoH 4, LW: 165 -> 115 = -30%
hard PoH 5, LW: 170 -> 120 = -29%
