You should get the following BASE hit points per level from each class:

10/3 = 3.33 rounded DOWN to 3

4/3 = 1.33 rounded DOWN to 1

8/3 = 2.66 round down to 2 - (clerics get 8 hps per level, not 6)

So that should give you 6 hit points when ALL three classes gain a level (not the 7 you should have calculated by adding 10+4+8=22/3=7.33 rounded down to 7). However, since each class will rarely level up at the same time as another (it does happen occassionally) you will likely only see a couple of hit points added each time you level up.

I seem to remember reading that the Con bonus is not calculated the way you think it is. I'm trying to check it out so stay tuned for an update. I seem to recall that the Con bonus is applied based on the FIRST class to level up to a certain level and NOT distributed across ALL three levels based on the individual con bonus.

I don't understand why you are only getting 4 or 5 hitpoints when all three classes level. Give me some specifics .... what levels has your character made and how many hitpoints does he/she have so far?
