Common FAQ

#### ***How do I calculate my HP?***

* At Level 1, your HP is equal to your Hit Die (Plus your CON modifier, which the sheet should add automatically).
* Each level afterwards, your HP is increased by half of your maximum Hit Die, and adding +1 to that number.

**Example:** Bob just created their character, Bob is a **Fighter** and his Hit Die is d10, Bob has 10 starting HP which becomes 13 because of his Constitution modifier of +3. Bob selects a Skill Point for his Favored Class bonus.

Bob just returned from an adventure and has advanced to Fighter level 2. He must take **half of his Hit Die** ***rounded up***, which is 6. Bob also selects +1 Hit Point for his Favored Class bonus this level.

Bob has gained +6 hp from his Hit Die, +3 from his Constitution modifier and +1 from the Favored Class bonus, for a total of 10 extra Hit Points at level 2.

Animal Companion's HP is determined by multiplying the number of Hit Dice and the average of the die type. Example: A 2 HD Companion using D8 Hit Die (Average: 4.5) would have 9 HP. For fractional hitpoints, always round down.
