Wrong hit die on cleric/ranger?

dethbringre

Playing a Half-Elf Cleric/Ranger and I just hit level 2 cleric and on level up I've only been able to get 5HP on level up. My CON is also at 18. Seems like I remember clerics having a D8 hit die but I could be missing something with the multiclass. I've reloaded and leveled him up about 50 times and so far nothing higher than 5HP.. Is this correct?

When you multi-class you only get partial hit points based on the class's hit die when you level. When you level to 2 with your cleric you are getting 1d8/2 + con mod hit points.

Here is the rule from AD&D PHB.

(1) "Roll the hit die (or dice) appropriate to each class the character is professing", (2) "Total the sum of all dice so rolled, and adjust for constitution", (3) Divide by the number of classes, and (4) Add that many hit points to the character's total.

Ohh i see, never messed with multiclass really but thanks! I kept remembering that my Cleric in the original Pool of Radiance game always had a D8 hit dice, I should have known better lol
