How is HP calculated?

Post by agc28 »

How is HP calculated? I dont understand. (Lets assume maximum HP at level up).

Lets take my fighter 4/barb 13 for example. He has had 18 constitution for the whole game (+3 modifier). He is not wearing any HP boosting armor. Dalekeeper 2 says my max HP is 208, (and it is higher in game, i know). I want to know how the 208 in Dalekeeper is derived, AND how the in-game HP is derived.

I can't seem to figure this out. The fighter part gives him 4d10 = 40. Barbarian part gives him 13d12 = 156. Total is 40+156 = 196. How is the constitution modifier applied? I dont see why dalekeeper says 208. Where does 208 come from? I assume 208 is WITHOUT con modifier. Correct?

If you make a wrong assumption (Lets assume maximum HP at level up) you don't have to be surprised that it doesn't fit with reality.

Using this to think about HP calculation makes only sense if you KNOW that you took maximum HP at level up.
