Formula Used

The calculator uses the following formulas to determine hit points and hit dice:

Hit Points Calculation

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

Where:

Hit Dice = Class-specific hit dice (e.g., d8 for fighters, d6 for rogues)
Constitution Modifier = (Constitution Score - 10) ÷ 2
Class Hit Dice = Number of hit dice per level for the selected class

Hit Dice Calculation

Hit Dice = Level × Class Hit Dice

These formulas follow the official D&D 5E rules for character creation and monster statistics.

Worked Example

Let's calculate the health statistics for a level 5 Fighter with a Constitution score of 16.

Inputs:

Level: 5
Class: Fighter
Constitution Score: 16

Calculations:

Constitution Modifier = (16 - 10) ÷ 2 = +3
Fighter Hit Dice = d10
Hit Dice = 5 × d10 = 5d10
Hit Points = (5d10 × 3) + (5 × 10) = 15 + 50 = 65

Results:

Total Hit Points: 65
Hit Dice: 5d10

This example shows how the calculator determines health statistics based on character level, class, and ability scores.
