Hit Die (Hit Dice) is used to calculate max Hit Points (HP) for a character in Baldur's Gate 3 (BG3). Read on to learn how Hit Die affects HP, how to calculate HP for each level, as well as the list of Hit Die for each class!
Max HP at Level 1 |

Hit Die Max Value + Constitution Modifier |
Hit Die is used to determine a character's max HP at level 1 by adding their Constitution modifier to the maximum value of their hit die.
For Example: A character with a d8 hit die and a constitution modifier of +3 will begin with 11 HP (8+3) at level 1.
HP Per Level | |

[(Hit Die / 2) Rounded Up] + Constitution Modifier | |
Hit Die | Half Value Rounded Up |
d6 | 4 |
d8 | 5 |
d10 | 6 |
d12 | 7 |
When leveling up, a character's HP will increase based on half the value of their hit die rounded up 1 plus their Constitution Modifier.
For Example: A character with a d8 hit die and a constitution modifier of +3 will gain an additional 8 HP(5+3) when they level up.
