Jaheira max hit points calculation

Can someone tell me what would be Jaheira max hit points if she is Fighter 8 / Druid 10 ?

Hit points would be something like this ?
F= 1d10/2 + Con/2 = 5 + 1 x8 = 48
D= 1d8/2 + Con/2 = 4+1 x9 = 45 +1 = 46
Total: 94
BaseHp: 77

Is my calculation good ? I am asking because I am modifying NPC's hp using EEkeeper so they all have max hit points.

    If you use EEKeeper, simply click "recalculate stats" or some such, and EEKeeper will do the math for you. :smile:

    Nope, the HP formula has definitely changed. I'm not sure exactly how it is counted now, but I know this because going from 18 to 19 CON grants bonus HP for both multi and triple classes which includes a fighter class, and loading up one of my latest run shows that my R6/C6 with 19 CON has 84 HP.

    A R6/C6 should have 30+24=54 Base HP, meaning I got 30/6=+5 HP for each cleric+ranger level I get.

    Counting on that, it's a bit weird, because if CON/2 was true and rounded down, I'd get +3 (2 ranger 1 cleric) HP/level, and if it was true and rounded up, I'd get +4 (3 ranger, 1 cleric). But I get +5.

    I'm not sure what +bonus I get from the cleric or the ranger, so I can't exactly help you calculate the Jaheira one, but it's definitely a changed formula from the vanilla game (the formula you're using). My guess would be that she would get +2 bonus from CON instead of +1 for each fighter class, netting her 8 more total HP.

    When in doubt, start a new game with, in this case, a fighter/druid with 17 CON, level up to 8/10 through console.
    Done and done. :)

    EDIT: Quick new game and I see 104 HP with 17 CON. 95 with 16 CON.
    EDIT2: bg2 tweakpack has a component making all NPCs, or NPCs + all creatures (more balanced) in game have max hitpoints. Works well.

    My guess from @Queegon 's data is that half hit points are being stored now. So a 17 Con grants +1.5 hp/level for a multiclassed character, not +1/level. Which, if true, is awesome, because that's really how it should work.

    That's how it is since the original Baldur's Gate was released in 1998 ;). HP from CON aren't 'stored' btw, they get calculated (and recalculated whenever CON changes) at runtime: for multiclass chars (and single class as well actually) its: (#levels*bonus)/#classes. That's why in BG1 a FMT with CON 18 always starts with 10 hp (and not just 9).

    And max HP for con 17 figher(8)/druid(10) should be 8*5+9*4+1 + (8+10)*3/2 = 77 + 27 = 104

    Perhaps somewhat confusing: the last con bonus hp are gained at the 10th druid level, the (yet to get) 9th fighter level then wouldn't get con bonus hp.

    Thanks for all the clarifications. I did it as Dyara said, 104, makes sense.
