The answer is both yes and no. I got a reply saying that with the BG fixpack (Baldurdash), the HP per level is dependent only on the base constitution. However, if you do not have the fixpack, then the HP/level is based on the constitution at time of level up.

all i would say is that as quite a lot of your guide is about maximising power i'd argue that drawf are halfling are the 'best' races because of their bonuses to saves and because their penalties (DEX & STR respectively) can be overcome by rage and items (my $0.02 anyway)
A very valid point. The better one would be the dwarf, probably, since there are no downsides to strength (you can get 18/00 by rolling the 'dice' sufficiently long. The penalty to the dexterity is negligible since AC does not matter too much once you are out into the game. I will make the addition to the Class faq if you permit it. You will be given full credit for the suggestion, of course.
