My warrior started out with 17 HP and 18 constitution on level one. In the manual it says that a di is rolled to determine how much more HP I receive. The di for the warrior has ten sides. Therefore I could gain 1-10 HP (this is found on page 139). Also, looking at page 134 about special bonuses from having high constitution I should receive an EXTRA 4 HP each level. Lastly the number of dice increase as I go from level to level. Level 2 to 3 uses 2 dice and level 4 to 5 uses 4 dice. At least thats what I think they are saying.
Ok, while gaining levels my fighter gained these many hit points:
Level 1-2: Bonus of 15 HP
Level 2-3: Bonus of 15 HP
Level 3-4: Bonus of 12 HP
Level 4-5: Bonus of 11 HP
Level 5-6: Bonus of 13 HP
Level 6-7: Bonus of 9 HP
By the way that this shows, it almost looks like I get less and less HP per level. But the manual says that the number of dice to determine HP gaining should INCREASE in number each level making one think that that would also increase thier rate of gain of HP.
A great amount of increase that the manual says is supposed to occur between level 6 and 7 would be a bonus of 54 HP. A perfectly average bonus would be 37 HP. But no, I got a bonus of 9 HP! Even if each di rolled 1 plus the CON bonus that would result in 10 HP so the amount I received shouldn't even be possible!
Please, anything anyone can do to help me understand this a little better would be very much appreciated. What actually goes on behind the screen when determining your HP bonus each level?
