HP Calculation Formula

HP is calculated from class, level, and Constitution:

Example: Fighter (d10), Level 5, CON 14 (+2): Level 1 = 10 + 2 = 12 HP. Levels 2-5 = 4 × (5 + 1 + 2) = 32 HP. Total = 44 HP. The calculator uses average HP unless you provide hit dice rolls.

Full Description

The HP Calculator 5e calculates hit points for D&D 5th Edition characters based on class, level, and Constitution modifier. Hit points represent a character\'s health and ability to withstand damage. Each class has a different hit die (d6 to d12), which determines HP gained per level. Constitution modifier is added to HP at every level, making CON an important ability score for all characters.

At level 1, characters get maximum hit die value plus CON modifier. For levels 2+, characters gain HP equal to average (hit die / 2 + 1 + CON modifier) or rolled (hit die roll + CON modifier). The calculator uses average HP by default, but you can enter hit dice rolls if you prefer rolling. Hit dice vary by class: Barbarians use d12, Fighters/Paladins/Rangers use d10, most classes use d8, and Sorcerers/Wizards use d6.

This calculator helps you determine character HP. Enter class, level, and Constitution, and it calculates total HP, hit die, and CON modifier. Use it for character creation, leveling up, understanding HP mechanics, or planning character builds. Remember, higher CON means more HP at every level!
