i have a level 3 fighter and i saved the game right as he got enough xp to level up. but he only gets 1 hp for leveling up. i have been at this for over an hour, and every single restart he gets ONLY 1 HP!! is this a common thing? i am trying to get more hp, because i know in most games your fighters need alot of hp. am i supposed to only get one hp? any help would be appreciated.

Hi Masque!

Yes, this is quite common and don't fret about it too much. It seems so awful at this point early in the game, but you are really just wasting your time "rerolling" the level up. Players have done that endlessly and the more you do it, the worse it will get in the long run. Do it a couple of times, if you really must and then just let it go and get on with enjoying the game. By the time you change classes and are leveling up in the new classes and change class again, you'll find that you really have very nice characters and their hit points will be just fine!

thx, i was starting to get displeased witth the game, but i will carry on, and i appreciate the fact that i won't bother wasting my time over it anymore

I think the actual logic behind hit points is somewhere in the Best Tip thread (probably right where the index says it is!), but here's my foggy memory of it.

Every level, hit points get re-rolled for all levels. If the total is higher than you currently have, you get the total. If it's equal or less, you get one.

What that means is that if you had two very good rolls for your first two levels, it may not be possible (or probable) for the third-level roll to exceed that number. That would be why you're only getting one HP.

And like Wyvern said, don't let it worry you. My Zenmaster has seen 1 HP at a level, and she has seen 89 HP at a level. It all averages out.
