Hit Points Calculation

For each level after 1st:

Hit Points = (Hit Dice × Constitution Modifier) + Hit Points per Level

Where:

Hit Dice = 1d8 for fighters, 1d6 for rogues, etc.
Constitution Modifier = (Constitution Score - 10) ÷ 2
Hit Points per Level varies by class

Each class has specific hit dice and hit points per level. The calculator uses these official values:

Class	Hit Dice	Hit Points at 1st Level	Hit Points per Level
Fighter	1d10	10 + Constitution Modifier	1d10 + Constitution Modifier
Rogue	1d8	8 + Constitution Modifier	1d8 + Constitution Modifier
Wizard	1d6	6 + Constitution Modifier	1d6 + Constitution Modifier

Worked Examples

Example 1: Fighter at Level 5

Character details:

Class: Fighter
Level: 5
Constitution Score: 16 (Modifier: +3)

Calculation:

First level hit points: 10 + 3 = 13
Each subsequent level: 1d10 + 3
Assuming rolls of 8, 6, 5, 4: (8+3) + (6+3) + (5+3) + (4+3) = 11 + 9 + 8 + 7 = 35
Total hit points: 13 + 35 = 48

Result: 48 hit points

Example 2: Rogue at Level 3

Character details:

Class: Rogue
Level: 3
Constitution Score: 14 (Modifier: +2)

Calculation:

First level hit points: 8 + 2 = 10
Each subsequent level: 1d8 + 2
Assuming rolls of 5 and 7: (5+2) + (7+2) = 7 + 9 = 16
Total hit points: 10 + 16 = 26

Result: 26 hit points

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between hit points and hit dice?: Hit points represent your character's current health, while hit dice determine how much health you regain when you take a short rest. Each class has different hit dice and hit point progression.
How do I calculate my constitution modifier?: Subtract 10 from your constitution score and divide by 2 (round down). For example, a constitution of 16 gives a +3 modifier.
Can I use this calculator for homebrew classes?: This calculator follows official D&D 5e rules. For homebrew classes, you'll need to use the specific hit dice and hit point progression defined by your DM.
Why does my character's hit points vary each time I calculate?: Hit points are calculated using dice rolls. Each time you calculate, the calculator simulates rolling the hit dice to determine your character's health.
How do I account for racial bonuses to hit points?: Racial bonuses to hit points are added to your total hit points. For example, a Dwarf's +1 Constitution bonus would increase your constitution modifier by +1.
