	After level 10, you only gain 3 hp. This is for warriors. 2 hp for rogues and 1 hp for mages.

	^ correct; thats why your supposed to earn HP quick as possible; try and max out rolls before level 10; or if HP is vital for you (its not really vital for anyone if your a good player) try a barbarian!

	Agree my Half Orc Barb was a machine. I could just leave him to take them on and concentrate on other members of the party.

	this is part of the d&d rules in BG2 at least you don't have to reload every single time your character gets a bad hp roll. that game designer mustve liked to see people get killed often ------------------- RPG maker resources -_- selling games role playing game name generator

	=O So what exactly does consitution do then? I have a mage and oddly enough his constitution is as high as his intelligence.

	I believe that a high constitution increases the likeliness of countering diseases, poisons and such. This is the Wiki Description for The 3^rd D&D edition on Constitution, so I'm assuming the effects of having a high constitution are somewhat influenced by what's written below: quote Wikipedia on Constitution in D&D Constitution (CON): Constitution is a term which encompasses the character's physique, toughness, health and resistance to disease and poison. The higher a character's Constitution, the more hit points that character will have. Constitution also is important for Fortitude saves, the Concentration skill, and fatigue-based general checks. Constitution also determines the duration of a barbarian's rage. Unlike the other ability scores, which render the character unconscious or immobile when they hit 0, having 0 Constitution is fatal. So it's not that bad to have a high constitution on a mage, perhaps it'll stop you from being disrupted all the time. Aerie gets failures everytime enemies only gaze at her. (And with that statement I don't mean Beholders or Medusae specifically. ) ------------------- Kick the can, kick the can, skip and blackjack Steal a car and ring a round-rosey Rock and roll, candyland, boogeyman Run away and give me your sneakers

	I always found my mages with high constitution to have higher hit points, although I have noticed no real change in their ability to fight off the effects of enemies hitting them. In fact, my current mage has a problem with being distracted every single time he is touched, so I usually end up having to keep him at the rear.

	If you read the description carefully it says it increases the amount of hit points among all the other stuff. ------------------- † : Photography.B&L.Music

	The amount of initial hitpoints, yeah. The increases for mages seems to be across the board the same afterwards, though -- my mage has high hitpoints but he still moves upwards with hp slowly.

	Well that doesn't fit that description so maybe Baldur's Gate is running on a slightly edited version of the rules. ------------------- † : Photography.B&L.Music
