    HP Calculation Tips

    • Level 1 HP = Max hit die + Constitution modifier
    • Each level after: Roll hit die (or take average) + CON mod
    • Average HP per level is (hit die / 2) + 1 rounded down
    • Tough feat adds +2 HP per level (retroactive)
    • Hill Dwarfs get +1 HP per level
    • Your HP minimum is always 1, regardless of negative CON

    How to calculate HP in D&D 5e

    At level 1, your hit points are the maximum of your class’s hit die plus your Constitution modifier. A level-1 fighter (d10) with 14 Constitution (+2) starts at 10 + 2 = 12 HP.

    At every level after that, you add either the average of your hit die (rounded up) or a fresh roll, plus your Constitution modifier again. The averages are d6 → 4, d8 → 5, d10 → 6, d12 → 7. HP is cumulative — you keep everything from earlier levels.

    Your hit die is set by class (see the table). If your Constitution modifier changes, the bonus applies to every level you have, so raising Constitution boosts your maximum HP retroactively — a +1 to the modifier adds 1 HP per level. The Tough feat adds another 2 HP per level.
