About D&D 5e Hit Points
Hit Points are the foundation of character survival in Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition. Every attack, spell, and environmental hazard chips away at your HP pool, making accurate calculation essential for balanced, enjoyable gameplay. A miscalculation of even a few hit points can mean the difference between a heroic victory and an untimely death saving throw.
Our D&D 5e HP Calculator delivers instant, rules-accurate results using official Player's Handbook formulas. Select your class, level, and Constitution modifier — the tool handles everything, including Tough feat bonuses and Hill Dwarf racial traits.
Level 1: Maximum hit die value + CON modifier
Higher Levels (Average): (Hit die ÷ 2 + 1) + CON modifier per level
Higher Levels (Rolled): 1d[Hit Die] + CON modifier per level
Tough Feat: +2 HP per character level (applied retroactively)
Hill Dwarf: +1 HP per character level (stacks with Tough feat)
Complete Hit Dice Reference
| Class | Hit Die | HP at Level 1 | Avg HP/Level |
|---|---|---|---|
| Barbarian | d12 | 12 + CON | 7 + CON |
| Fighter, Paladin, Ranger | d10 | 10 + CON | 6 + CON |

Average vs Rolled HP — Which Should You Choose?
Average (Fixed): Predictable progression with no risk. Recommended for new players and balanced campaigns. You'll never suffer from bad luck on hit die rolls.
Rolled: High-risk, high-reward approach. You might end up with more HP than the fixed average, or significantly less. Many tables allow re-rolling 1s to reduce the downside.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I add my CON modifier at level 1?

Yes. When you take the Tough feat, you gain +2 HP for every character level you already have, and +2 HP for each future level.
Can Hill Dwarf HP bonus stack with the Tough feat?
Absolutely. These are separate bonuses and fully stack, giving you +3 HP total per level.

Your maximum HP adjusts retroactively by 1 HP per character level for each point your CON modifier changes.
