HP Help, What Should My HP Be?

unkinhead

I have a Stalker and a Cleric of Lathander, and it seems that both of their HP's are off, i want them to have "max hp per level up" knowing that, what should their HP be? I have no idea how to calculate it, and the certain things i have read, were not very helpful...Anyways

Cleric/Human LVL 7, CON: 19 (from tome in BG1) Health being shown: 64
Stalker/Human LVL 7, CON: 19 (Same tome) Health being shown: 81

are these correct levels? If not what are they? and how can i calculate this easily in the future?

As a side note, I want to play on Core Rules, but i want Max HP on lvl up, do you get that? or is there a mod than can help with that?

Most likely there's a mod for it. But anyway if you take a look here

you'll see that your cleric should have 7*(8+2) = 70 HP and your stalker should have 7*(10+5) = 105 HP.

I should mention that the HP gain from increasing your constitution is retroactive.

Clerics receive 1d8 per level and can only receive a maximum bonus of 2HP from a high Constitution score.

Your cleric should be ([level]*8)+([level]*2) = 70


Rangers receive 1d10 per level and can receive the full amount of bonus HP from a high Constitution score. 19 CON grants +5HP per level.

Your Stalker should be ([level]*10)+([level]*5) = 105

One trick to get max HP on level up is to turn back the difficulty to easy or normal right before you hit "level up". Then switch it back to Core after. Many players do this.
