Let's see how to determine the HP of a basic creature or a Boss, as well as the mechanics to adjust the HP based on the creature's level.
To define the base HP value of a standard creature, consider the following table representing different archetypes:
| Tiny | Small | Medium | Large |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 to 2 | 3 to 5 | 6 to 9 | 10 to 14 |
To determine the HP of a creature at a specific level, simply multiply the base HP value by the desired level and then add its Constitution modifier (CON).
- Max HP = (Base HP x Level) + CON
Example:
Let's take a Goblin with 4 Base HP and -2 CON.
HP at level 5 = (4 * 5) + (-2) = 18
At level 5, the Goblin will therefore have 18 HP.
