Worked Example

Let's calculate the health statistics for a level 5 Fighter with a Constitution modifier of +2.

Character Level: 5
Class: Fighter (Hit Dice: d10)
Constitution Modifier: +2

Using the formulas:

Hit Dice: 5d10 = 5 × 10 = 50

Hit Points: (50 × 2) + (50 × 5) = 100 + 250 = 350

The calculator will display the following results:

Total Hit Points: 350
Hit Dice: 5d10
Average Hit Points per Level: 70
