One thing I've noticed is that in BG2 (well, in my copy of BG2, anyway), Multi-classed characters seem to have WAY more HP than they deserve--even more than is legal. Gothmog said his Paladin (who I'll assume had at least 18 CON) had 140 HP at the end of BG2, let's say Level 18. Right now, I have a Level 9/11 Fighter/Mage with 18 CON. He has 148 HP. (153 with the Helm of Balduran.) What the???

His highest legal HP should be....
Fighter half: (9 x 10+4) / 2 = (135 / 2)
Mage half: ([9 x 4+2] + 2) / 2 = (58 / 2)
Added together, my character shouldn't have more than 96.5 HP. What gives?
