Hit Point Calculation

in Icewind Dale: Enhanced Edition
I'm seeing something here I've never seen before. My Druid (1d8 hit dice) has a CON of 18 (+2 HP\lvl). I have Max HP On Level Up turned on, therefore I get 10 HP\lvl; easy enough.

She's currently level 9 and has 90 HP. She just made level 10, but when I try to level her, she only gets 2 additional HPs!

I've tried several times and I always get the same results: 2 additional HP for leveling to lvl 10. This is my first level 10 in the game.

Is there a HP cap rule I missed somewhere or a mechanic I don't understand? I cannot find any information in the documentation.

Thanks in advance.

    You stop getting additional hit dice after level 9 or 10, depending on the class. A druid gets 2 HP per level for every level after 9.

    Wow @joluv, thanks. I played 2nd edition over 30 years ago and I don't remember that little tidbit of information. I could have sworn I got at least a couple toons up to around level 20, too.

    So, I'm not going crazy(er) after all.
