Multiclasses and their Hit Points..

[Lioness]

er...I think it would be up 7max.
This is the way i figure it...
17 con=+3 bonus, right?
fighter=10hp for the max.
3+10=13
13/2 becuz yuou are multiclass=6and1/2
rounded up to 7

plz, someone correct me if I'm wrong.

I believe you would actually have 6 max at a level up, I think they programmed the game mean and made it round down. But you would also get HP when you level up as mage meaning you could get 3 there too:
CON 17 = +3 bonus (as Lioness said)
4+3=7/2=3.5 round down ()=3

I could be wrong too.....

Thanks!

So I guess if I was a human, or another race with 18 con, I'd gain 10 hp (7 fighter, 3 mage)

Again, thanks for the explanations! ;]~~

FYI, you only get HALF of your Con bonus per class, so a fighter w/ 18 CON would get 2 hp bonus when the fighter levels, and 2 hp bonus when the other class levels.

so for a fighter mage you start w/ [(10 / 2) +2] + [(4 / 2) +2] = 11. This is how my 2nd ed players guide says it should work, so for fighter max Hp you'd have 7, and mage max hp youd have 4. Note to all: Multi class HP really blow, go buy 3rd ed. not that it'll help us play BG mind you...

Hello everyone- I am a rookie.
Anyway, I still don't understand this. So if I was a dwarfen Fighter/Cleric with Constitution 19, when I level up as a Fighter I could get 7 hit points and when I level up as a Cleric I could get 5 ? Or is that still wrong? Thanks to anyone who replies.

The character's race is irrelevant, apart from any Constitution modifiers that certain races (Elves and Dwarves) have. An Elven Fighter with 16 CON can have the exact same HP as a Dwarven Fighter with 16 CON.

Warriors (Fighter, Paladin, Ranger): Number of Levels * (1D10 + CON modifier)
Priests (Cleric, Druid): Number of Levels * (1D8 + CON modifier)
Rogues (Thief, Bard): Number of Levels * (1D6 + CON Modifier)
Wizards (Mage): Number of Levels * (1D4 + CON Modifier)

CON Modifiers are:
15: +1 hp
16: +2 hp (Maximum hitpoint benefit for Priests, Rogues & Wizards)
17: +3 hp
18: +4 hp
19: +5 hp
20: +5 hp

Each time one of your Multiclassed character's halves Levels up, calculate the hp for that half as if it was a regular character, and then divide it by 2, and add that to your current total. For example...
A Dwarven Fighter with 19 CON would get 1D10+5 hp at each new level, and
a Dwarven Cleric with 19 CON would get 1D8+2 hp for each new level.
So the Fighter half of a F/C could expect from 1 to (1D10+5)/2 hitpoints, or 1 to 8 hitpoints, and the Cleric half could expect 1 to 5 hitpoints.

These rules are only for BG1; they get a bit more complicated in BG2. For more info, take the link in my sig.

Thanks. I think I will stay with just a fighter or just a cleric.
