MalakiTyrel 11-11-03, 01:26 PM	For a first level character, you get the maximum amount of hit points. So if your pc gets 1d8 for hit dice, he starts with 8 hit points. You add the CON modifier to this. So a 1st level pc with 1d8 hit dice and a +2 CON bonus starts with 10 hit points. For higher level characters, you roll the specified die and add that amount (plus CON modifier) to your total. So a character with 38 hit points who gains 1d10 for his new level rolls a d10 one time. If he gets a 5 on his roll and has a +2 CON modifier, then he adds 7 to 38 for a new hit point total of 45.

Fighters Get a D10 Barbarians Get a D12 Wizards get a D4 So you'll have to look up the class or prestige class you are taking and see what the hit die entry is
