D&D 5e Health Formula

The health of a D&D 5e character is determined by several key formulas:

These formulas are used to calculate the health of a D&D 5e character based on their class, level, and Constitution modifier. The calculator uses these formulas to provide accurate results for your character.

Calculating Hit Points

Hit points represent a combination of physical and mental durability, the will to keep going, and luck. Damage reduces your current hit points, and healing can restore them.

Your character's hit points are calculated using the formula:

For example, a level 5 Fighter with a Constitution modifier of +3 would have:

This means the Fighter starts with 27 hit points at level 5.

Calculating Hit Dice

Hit dice represent a character's ability to recover from damage and continue fighting. Each class has a specific hit die, and the number of hit dice a character has increases with level.

Your character's hit dice are calculated using the formula:

For example, a level 3 Wizard with a hit die of d6 would have:

This means the Wizard has 3d6 hit dice at level 3.

Calculating Hit Point Maximum

The hit point maximum is the maximum number of hit points your character can have at a given level. It is calculated using the formula:

For example, a level 4 Rogue with a Constitution modifier of +2 and a hit die of d8 would have:

This means the Rogue has a maximum of 70 hit points at level 4.

Worked Examples

Here are some worked examples to help you understand how the D&D 5e health calculator works:

Example 1: Fighter at Level 5

A Fighter with a Constitution modifier of +3 and a hit die of d10:

• Hit Points: (5d10 × 3) + 3 × (5 - 1) = 15 + 12 = 27
• Hit Dice: d10 × 5 = 5d10
• Hit Point Maximum: (5d10 × 3) + (3 × 4) + (5 × 10) = 15 + 12 + 50 = 77

Example 2: Wizard at Level 3

A Wizard with a Constitution modifier of +1 and a hit die of d6:

• Hit Points: (3d6 × 1) + 1 × (3 - 1) = 3 + 2 = 5
• Hit Dice: d6 × 3 = 3d6
• Hit Point Maximum: (3d6 × 1) + (1 × 2) + (3 × 6) = 3 + 2 + 18 = 23

Example 3: Rogue at Level 4

A Rogue with a Constitution modifier of +2 and a hit die of d8:

• Hit Points: (4d8 × 2) + 2 × (4 - 1) = 16 + 6 = 22
• Hit Dice: d8 × 4 = 4d8
• Hit Point Maximum: (4d8 × 2) + (2 × 3) + (4 × 8) = 32 + 6 + 32 = 70
