    [​IMG] I have 2 characters (human Palidin and half-orc fighter) with high constitutions that have only gotten 3 points on their last 2 level ups. The first few levels I went up, they were getting 10+. Plus the HalfOrc has a constitution bonus so I would think it is impossible for him to even get 3. Did I do somethig worng or do I have just god awful luck with my rolls for hit points.

    i think once your characters get to a certain level, they gain just 2 or 3 hp a level, otherwise you end the game with over 200hp.

    What level are your characters on?

    [​IMG] I think both are now 13. I know for sure the Fighter is. That is what I kinda figured, but right now, he has 117 hit points I believe. I think 19 was the highest level for fighter so over 200 hit points would probably happen I guess. So I guess I wasted my time getting a 19 constitution and Half-Orc for the bonus?

    for your half orc i would/nt have anything less than 19, because he gets alot of bonus hp, up until the level where you get only 2 or 3 hp per level.

    [​IMG] And with a constitution 19, you can really drink a lot of beer before you get intoxicated! :D
    I need some strong dwarven-ale!

    With a high Con., you also have better savingthrows vs. Paralyze/Poison/Death, Rod/Staff/Wand and Spells.
    Don't know if it counts for all races, though.

    I know what you mean, first time I played BG2 I thought it was a bug, because I was used to the 14 hitpoint level ups in BG1. I actually downloaded the patch, before realizing it wasn't a bug, so it wasn't a total lose.

    Trust me, getting 2s or 3s past a few level ups is only natural. If you're playing on normal/novice, then you should get 12 or so HP the first one or two level ups, then it goes a fixed amount of 2 or 3 from there.

    Hope I helped you.

    IIRC, level 10 is the cut-off for getting a varied amount of hitpoints. After that it's 3 for fighter types, 2 for clerics/druids, 1 for mages, etc.

    [​IMG] Warriors and Priests get 9 full Hit Dice.
    That means after level 9 they only get additional HP's and not another HD.

    Mages and Rogues get 10 full Hit Dice.
