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.
